However, the Petach Dvir 290:3, Sdei Chemed (Chet 34), Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 6:7, Yabia Omer 10 OC 7, and Sh"t Atret Paz 1:1 write that it’s a complete obligation. [Chazon Ovadyah ([[Shabbat]] vol 2 pg 339) writes that even the Chida may mean that it’s only virtuous to go out of the way to make the Bracha oneself but accumulating a hundred (including [[Brachot]] one listens to such as the [[Brachot]] of Torah reading) is an obligation.] Tur 46 also says this obligation is also rabbinic and the pasuk brought in menachot 43b is an asmachta. The Arizal in Shaar Ruach Hakodesh 4a says that there is a level in blessing in heaven that the only way to get to it is saying 100 [[berachot]] each day. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 6:7 writes that a person is obligated to make a hundred [[brachot]] daily. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch of Rav Mordechai Eliyahu 6:7 concurs.<br /> | However, the Petach Dvir 290:3, Sdei Chemed (Chet 34), Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 6:7, Yabia Omer 10 OC 7, and Sh"t Atret Paz 1:1 write that it’s a complete obligation.
