==What Is Included in the Bracha?== | |||
# Ideally a person should have in mind specifically whatever he is going to eat with this bracha and exempt it with his bracha.<ref>Rama Orach Chaim 206:5, Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 206:37:1, Yalkut Yosef 206:22</ref> | |||
# If a person didn't have in mind to exempt everything and only specifically intended to exempt a specific food then his bracha does not include other foods with a few exceptions: | |||
## It does exempt more of the same food after the fact. It does not exempt more of another food with the same bracha.<ref>Mishna Brurah 206:22, Vezot Habracha p. 66 based on the Magen Avraham 206:7</ref> According to Sephardim it does even exempt more of another food with the same bracha.<ref>Yalkut Yosef 206:22 based on Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 206:5. See however, Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 206:37:1 who writes that if one didn't intend for the food of the same type or another type with the same bracha while one was still eating the first food then once one finished eating anything else would require a new bracha.</ref> | |||
## If one didn't finish eating the first food and then got another food with the same bracha it is also exempt after the fact.<ref>Mishna Brurah 206:22, Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 206:37:1, Yalkut Yosef 206:22, Vezot Habracha p. 66</ref> | |||
## If one originally intended to have an established meal then other foods with the same bracha are also exempt.<ref>Mishna Brurah 206:22, Vezot Habracha p. 67</ref> | |||
# For example, if someone was eating an apple and only had specific intention to eat that apple, if he wants another apple he doesn't need a new bracha. If he wants to then eat an orange he needs another bracha unless he didn't finish eating the apple.<ref>Vezot Habracha p. 67</ref> | |||
# Food and drinks are independent when it comes to a person who didn't have something in mind specifically. Therefore, if someone made a bracha and then decide to have a drink with the same bracha or was drinking and then decided to have a food with the same bracha, it would not be included.<ref>Kaf HaChayim on Shulchan Arukh Orach Chayim 206:38:1 writes that drinks and food would not exempt one another with stam daat. Mishna Brurah 206:21 agrees. However, Yalkut Yosef 206:22 writes that because of safek brachot lehakel one would not make a bracha in this case.</ref> | |||
