A special mitzvah that is an aspect of the mitzvah of reciting brachot is to specifically try to recite 100 brachot a day. In fact, it is considered by the poskim to be an obligation.<Ref> Gemara Menachot 43b, Rambam Tefilla 7:14, Shulchan Aruch 46:3, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 6:7, Yalkut Yosef 46:3, Sh"t Bitzel Hachochma 4:155, Sh"t Binyan Av 3:1, Sh"t Ateret Paz 1:1. See Aishel Avraham Siman 46 who says that one should try to recite more than 100 berachot in fulfillment of the pasuk in Tehillim (71:14): ואני תמיד איחל, והוספתי על כל תהלתך. </ref> The mitzvah is according to most opinions rabbinic<ref>Atret Paz 1:1</ref> and its purpose is to inspire a person to consider the awe of heaven many times a day. One is obligated to recite 100 berachot each day.<ref>Emet Lyakov Devarim 10:12</ref> It is considered a merit to prevent a plague<ref>Tur 46</ref> and is it commensurate to the mitzvah of saying Modim properly.<ref>Or Gedalyahu Tzav citing Daat Zekenim</ref> | |||

# Some hold that this law is a biblical obligation, while others hold it's of rabbinic origin. <ref> See Sh"t Atret Paz 1:1 at length. The Chida (Machzik Bracha 290:1) writes that going out of the way to complete a hundred [[Brachot]] daily is only a virtuous practice. <br /> | # Some hold that this law is a biblical obligation, while others hold it's of rabbinic origin. <ref> See Sh"t Atret Paz 1:1 at length.
