Can you please cite the transliterated versions of the blessings?
Thanks,

Thank you for your question. The insert is said on "Chol Hamoed" as well.
|
Is the verse for Pesach/Sukkot for the actual days of Yom Tov only, or do we say it on the "intermediate days" of Chol Hamoed as well?
Thanks!

The verse you're looking for is Deuteronomy, 8:10 - "You will eat and be satisfied, and you will bless G-d, your G-d." This is the commandment of Grace After Meals, and there is a Rabbinic decision as to when we are considered to be satisfied. We do not wait to bless G-d until we are personally satiated, rather, there is a halachic determination that one must say Grace After Meals when he has eaten a kezayit of food, about 25 grams or just under an ounce.

Given that water is the single most vital item to ensure our physical survival, it seems odd that there is not a special blessing for it.
Does anyone make a blessing when they drink water? Is it the 'she hakol' blessing?
|
I remember a verse in Torah saying that we should thank G-d when our bellies are full. Is that the commandment for Birkat HaMazon (Grace After Meals). Is that right? Where can I find that verse and any other to support this? (English, please.)

I second the comment by Clare; Hebrew text please! Also, does anyone know where I could purchase a little card or something with the after brachot on it, to keep in my purse?

Thanks so much for this basic prayer page on food blessings. I've been searching all over the internet and there is nothing else like this.
Thank you Chabad for making this world a better place.
