עוֹד לֹא אָכַלְנוּ
עוֹד לֹא שָׁתִינוּ
יָבֵשׁ לָנוּ בַּגָּרוֹן
הָבוּ לָנוּ מַשְׁקֶה
מִיט אַ בִּיסֶל קאַשקע
אָז נשירה וְנָרֹן
עוֹד לֹא אָכַלְנוּ
עוֹד לֹא שָׁתִינוּ
יָבֵשׁ לָנוּ בַּגָּרוֹן
מוּכָנִים כְּבָר אָנוּ
לֶאֱכוֹל כּוּלָנוּ
וְנׁאמָר בְּתֵיאָבוֹן
I think that when I say Birkat HaMazon, I now think about this class and what the words mean. Before, I was kind of in auto-pilot when I sang Birkat, but now I am focused on the actual words.
Od lo achalnu, Od lo shatinu
Yavesh lanu bagaron (bugger off _______)
Havu lanu mashke, mitte bissel kashke
Venariya venaron
Beteavon (x9)
Tel chai 2, 4, 6, 8 bog in don’t wait
Anachnu
od lo achalnu shum davar,
Veshum davar od lo shatinu
Im ein shapan ve ein caviar
Tnu lanu lechem ve zeitim?

A time we were really hungry
Isa was watching Youtube in her bed
She was starving because she hadn't been fed
She tried to get up to eat
But she fell back asleep
And she was then presumed dead
We eat Challah every week, and my Grandma either makes it and sometimes puts olives in it or we get it from a bakery. Something that we do that is unique from everyone else is that we throw the challah. It is a very old Sephardic custom. We do it because we don't want to be beggars and take from a plate and we want to represent getting Mannah from the sky like our ancestors in the desert.
Halachot are Jewish Laws determined by "the rabbis".
For a fascinating read about the rabbis' attitudes about food, why two loaves, and which foods should not be eaten because they will give you bad breath, or even worse, intestinal troubles, go to the source above by clicking on the underlined heading, and read through for a while. You won't be disappointed. Add quotes that you find interesting or intriguing here:
I think that a blessing is only a blessing if it has G-d's name in it because in the example of Benjamin, he isn't acknowledging that G-d was the "Master of this bread". Also, if you say any word ending in ING, you have you have to have a subject. For example, Reading. Reading what? So to answer that question for blessing, I would say blessing G-d. Justin 100% agrees, I think that God is the one who created the world and our food, and he needs to be acknowledged.
Alex says the blessing over tea is adama, because the leaves come from something that grows in the ground. Noam says that it's not, because it's only water that is flavored like the leaves, but they are not really here. Oliver says for the tree because it's not only flavoring from leaves, but from fruits, pomegranates, black tea, etc. Wendy says it's she'hakol because that's the blessing I say for things that are a mixture and not in their original form.
