Grace After Meals: Halachic Requirements - Rabbi Maimon Elbaz

welcome to an incredible journey with ribbon mine and elbows from Toro shows I want to thank he's a brute for bringing Torah to the Jewish community worldwide I can't wait to visit you in the office Hashem gave us a lot of mit's votes 613 but one of the most important it's votes is that when you eat bread thank God it says in the Torah via occulta eat a gem wants us to eat healthy a good nutritious breakfast a good bread good roll and then the civ oughtta be satisfied to be rocked are in blossom I remember when I was a little kid I used to always sing because Amazon I didn't even know this but one day my mother told me my man my son thank you for teaching me how to say Ben Ching and I said what I mean my mother was what 40 years old and I was this little 10 year old and I'm like huh and she says my Minh I was an orphan I didn't get to go to school to learn about tour admits vote but you go to a good yeshiva you come home and you sing your Brock Holt your breakout time I zone and I listen to you and now I sing my behalf amazon because of you I was so touched you don't even know who's listening to you but one thing we learn from here is don't just mumble your blessings a Jewish man and woman and child should say 100 blessings to God a day it's like 100 thank you cards or won't you thank you texts or emails that you're faxing Tasha I'm a message of thank you for giving me life but the bra ha shouldn't be mumbled it should be said with song it should be said with spirit we're going to learn now how much food do you have to eat how much bread you have to eat to bench you know sometimes we take a bite of a bread and we leave it on the table that's not the mitzvot limits vayas you should eat one slice of bread now there isn't argument amongst tribute on Ruby mayor two great rabbis how much bread do you have to eat to be required to give a sham the bearcats amazone so one opinion is even if you eat a little bit the size of an olive that's like a half a slice of bread if you crumple it up that's about the size of our ribbon mayor says give a sham birkat hamazon because we are how tall you ate something maybe who does says no it has to be Vasavada that you ate something satisfying a little half a slice of bread and olive is not going to satisfy someone it's like the person who has one little cookie that doesn't satisfy me needs a good few so if you that says you have to eat the size of egg which is about one slice of bread imagine a kid comes late to yeshiva and it didn't have time to eat breakfast and he gobbles down a piece of bread before his rebbe comes into the classroom does he have to say bekata Mazzone so that's this argument according to rebel a year of course he should you ate a little bit the size of an olive even if all you ate was a half a slice of bread give a shampoo katama zone if you that says no you would have to eat a substantial amount of bread to be required to saber katama zone how much rabuda says the size of an egg now how do we hold muhahaha we hold like grabbing my ear because since the Jewish people love God we say it every day we say shema we save you have thought that sham we love God so if we loved God then even if he only gives us the size of an olive which is a half a slice of bread we're going to say a bit gotta Mazzone to him and that shows how special the Jewish people are that even though they might not even have a whole slice of bread God gave me half a slice of bread I'm going to say a brick utama zone and that is a statement how special the Jewish people are let's remember the only brocco that it says in the Torah we have to say and physical thing is when you eat bread the only other bracha we say in spiritual things as before we learn Torah we make a bracha in the morning and my rabbi explained to me because just like bread feeds our body the Torah feeds our soul thank God for sustaining our body and for giving us the Torah which nourishes our neshama [Applause]
