David BibiHOST
Every meal gives us another opportunity.
David BibiHOST
Every Birkat Hamazon gives us another opportunity.
David BibiHOST
Every day, gives us another opportunity to enjoy the blessings of Hashem and to share those blessings with other people.
David BibiHOST
To recognize our imperfections and to become a little better than we were yesterday.
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
Another example.
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
Birkat Hamazon.

Actually, bedding
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
is not a requirement.
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
Ayin Sham.
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
Look at that.
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
What about Birkat Hamazon? All the important berakhot that we have Chachamim upgraded even the matter of what is not required is for sure mitzvah min ha-mufkhar.
Yosef Haim RabbaniHOST
So you see the chachamim upgraded.
Ari LevisohnHOST
Wow, so you have these opportunities to reflect beforehand on where it comes from, to pray during that it should come from God and remembering that it's coming from Him.
Ari LevisohnHOST
And you have the opportunities through Birkat Hamazon to reflect afterwards, after the consumption, to stop and think for a minute and think, okay, thank God my stomach is full.
Ari LevisohnHOST
I have a roof over my head.
Ari LevisohnHOST
I'm getting into a warm and cozy bed.
David AshearHOST
Imagine a person who has been praying for years, who keeps having disappointments after disappointments and continues getting up every morning, turning to Hashem again.
David AshearHOST
Imagine a person continuing to say Birkat Hamazon with Kavanah after waiting months and years to see some kind of financial gain in his business.
David AshearHOST
Imagine a person continuing to do mitzvot with enthusiasm and continuing to trust in Hashem even though he hasn't seen the Yeshua he's been waiting for.
David AshearHOST
Every day of remaining ne'eman is such a great accomplishment.
Shalom RosnerHOST
It's connected to events.
Shalom RosnerHOST
Birchas HaMazon.
Shalom RosnerHOST
So how do you look at Brismila? Suggested to Rav Solveitchik that there may be, even though the Rambam says that there are three categories of brachas, berchas ha-mitzvah, berchas ha-nenin, and berchas shevech v'hodah, suggested Rav Solveitchik, within berchas ha-mitzvah, there are two categories of berchas ha-mitzvahs.
Shalom RosnerHOST
Most of the time, what we have is what's called a bracha namayis ha-mitzvah.
Yosef KanefskyHOST
No one suggests

that.
Yosef KanefskyHOST
So Rav Shlomo Zalman says, This is evidence that regardless of the theoretical principle that Sheva Brachot can be detached from Birkat HaMazoni, this is not what we do.
Yosef KanefskyHOST
This is not our minhag.
Yosef KanefskyHOST
The minhag essentially defines normative practice.
Joseph DanaHOST
So, Bet Shammai and Bet Hillel are going to have a machlok yet about what this person does.
Joseph DanaHOST
What's the situation? How does he do Berkat Hamazon following Havdalah all in one big unison? So the Mishnah says, Beit Shammai says, the order that we do it, the order that we do Birkat HaMazon over here, is first you do Ner, Borei Me'ore Ha'esh, then you do Mazon, Birkat HaMazon, Then you do Besamim.
Joseph DanaHOST
Then you do the Berachah of Havdalah, Hamavdil ben Kodesh, the whole, and all that.
Joseph DanaHOST
Bet Hillel says, no, you flip the order.
Jonathan LiviHOST
So that's a nice, you know this Persian thing, I never heard of that.
Jonathan LiviHOST
There are people that they say, I don't know when they say it, I think they say it before the Birkat Hamazon, they say, something like that.
Jonathan LiviHOST
It comes from here.
Jonathan LiviHOST
Is that if the person gives all of the trumot and all of that, then there will be blessing in his home.
Yosef KanefskyHOST
And in a certain way, no different from Ya'alev, Yavo, or Ritze, they are additions to Sheva Brachot that mark a particular occasion that's happening at that moment.
Yosef KanefskyHOST
There is, however, some room for discussion beyond the Ramban here, because there is a Gemara in Pesachim, in a situation in which, an unusual situation to be sure, but one in which people are finishing a meal and reciting Birkat Hamazon just as Shabbat is beginning, and the question is, can they use the same cup for the Kos of Birkat Hamazon and the Kos of Kiddush? And the Gemara says, no, you can't do this.
Yosef KanefskyHOST
You can't recite two distinct liturgical expressions over the same kos.
Yosef KanefskyHOST
Berkat Hamazon and Kiddush are without any doubt very different things halachically.
Joseph DanaHOST
Therefore, if one person leaves, the whole Zimun falls apart.
Joseph DanaHOST
So if you're not allowed to leave that group, you have to do Birkat Hamazon together.
Joseph DanaHOST
The same exists if you have four or five people eating together.
Joseph DanaHOST
Even if you may think, you know what, I'll leave, and they can still do the Zimun without me.
