Shomrei Torah Shabbat Eikev
20 Av, 5777/ August 11-12, 2017
PACHIM KETANIM FROM RABBI YUDIN: In Honor of Parshat Eikev In Parshat Ekev we have the mitzvah of Birkat Hamazon after one has eaten bread. One should try to recite
Birkat Hamazon from a text as one has a much better chance for more kavanah. What is the halacha if one
recited Al Hamichya, the blessing recited after grain products such as cake, spaghetti, do they satisfy their
obligation b’deaved – after the fact? Many Acharonim say no as the second bracha of Birkat Hamazon
(Nodeh L’cha) contains a list of thank you’s including bris – circumcision and Torah, and these ideas are not
included in Al Hamichya. Others argue that since he said the complete text of Al Hamichya – b’deaved it is ok.
What should one do if they made this mistake? 1. Ideally, wash again, have a piece of bread and recite Bikat
Hamazon which will cover the first meal again. 2. Listen to Birkat Hamazon from someone else who is about
to bentch.
