Day #31–Rambam DAILY Sefer HaMitzvos

is day number 31 of our daily study of the ramam safe for amitsus and in our three chapters a day of mishna Toyota we're starting hilchas braces the laws of blessings the laws of blessings is 11 chapters so it takes four days to complete and there's just one biblical commandment one biblical command we're going to be studying it today and for the next three days now you're going to ask me a very intelligent question which is if it takes 11 chapters in mishna Toyota to cover this subject how is it that there's just one biblical commandment for the whole thing the answer is because all of the blessings with one exception but all of the blessings are of rabbinic origin so all the various different blessings that we make before and after we eat and derive different types of benefit it's all rabbinic there's only one blessing that is a Biblical obligation meaning it's one of the 613 Commandments and that is here we go we're going to introduce it properly positive commandment number 19. beer customer the grace after meals and that is based on the verse impartials when you will eat and be satiated you will bless the Lord your God and that is talking about when one eats a proper meal as definedically as a meal that is based on the consumption of bread and also has defined halachly bread means from the five species of grain wheat and barley oats rye and spelled and not a snack that's made from those forms of grain which is something we make a before blessing us on but rather real bread where we make the before blessing and when one consumes such a meal then afterwards one recites the grace after meals and that is a Biblical commandment and we're going to be talking about this biblical commandment for a few more days God willing we'll see you then
