# If one only knows the first three [[Brachot]] of Birkat HaMazon one should say those [[Brachot]], however, if one only knows some of the first three [[Brachot]] but not all of them, according to Sephardim, he shouldn’t say Birkat HaMazon at all, but according to Ashkenazim, if he was full then he should say the [[Brachot]] he knows. <Ref> | # If one only knows the first three [[Brachot]] of Birkat HaMazon one should say those [[Brachot]], however, if one only knows some of the first three [[Brachot]] but not all of them, according to Sephardim, he shouldn’t say Birkat HaMazon at all, but according to Ashkenazim, if he was full then he should say the [[Brachot]] he knows. <Ref>Shulchan Aruch OC 194:3, Mishna Brurah 194:13 </ref> | ||
==Bracha of the Guest== | |||
# A guest should bless the homeowner who provided the food for the meal.<ref>Gemara Brachot 46a. Smag Asin 27 and Avudraham (Birchat Halechem s.v. vamrinan) cite a source from chazal that learns the idea of blessing the homeowner from the pasuk ואכלת ושבעת וברכת את ה' that את includes the bracha of a guest for the homeowner. Encyclopedia Talmudimit (Orach fnt. 72) cites the same from the Roke'ach 319.</ref> The Ashkenazic minhag is to recite shortened bracha "הרחמן הוא יברך את בעל הבית הזה" but it is better to recite the full text of the bracha "יהי רצון שלא יבוש ולא יכלם בעל הבית הזה לא בעולם הזה ולא בעולם הבא ויצליח בכל נכסיו ויהיו נכסיו מוצלחים וקרובים לעיר ולא ישלוט שטן במעשי ידיו ואל יזדקק לפניו שום דבר חטא והרהור עון מעתה ועד עולם".<ref>The full text is found in the Gemara Brachot 46a and is codified by Shulchan Aruch 201:1. The Mishna Brurah 201:5 points out that the minhag is to recite a shortened text of the bracha but really we should recite the longer one. Piskei Teshuvot 201 fnt. 9 cites the Teshuvot Vehanhagot 2:122 writes that the Griz was careful to say the text of the Gemara. He also cites the Sidur Yavetz who disapproves of the shortened text.</ref> | |||
# Some say that children should recite the bracha of guests for their parents.<ref>Kaf Hachaim 201:13, Piskei Teshuvot 201:1</ref> | |||
# It applies equally to the one leading the zimun and everyone else.<ref>Aruch Hashulchan 201:3, Ben Ish Chai (Shana Rishona Shalach 24). Shaar Hatziyun 201:15 also writes that he doesn't know why the Magen Avraham holds that it only applies to the one leading the zimun but the minhag is that everyone says it.</ref> | |||
# Someone paying for his meal doesn't need to recite the bracha of a guest.<ref>Magen Avraham 201:2, Kaf Hachaim 201:11, Aruch Hashulchan 201:2</ref> | |||
==Making Birkat HaMazon Over Wine== | ==Making Birkat HaMazon Over Wine== | ||
# It’s preferable to make a Birkat HaMazon over a cup of wine when making a [[Zimmun]] of three. <Ref>S”A 182:1, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 45:1, Mishna Brurah 182:4 </ref> | # It’s preferable to make a Birkat HaMazon over a cup of wine when making a [[Zimmun]] of three. <Ref>S”A 182:1, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 45:1, Mishna Brurah 182:4 </ref> | ||
