According to the Rayvad can you make a Bracha before partaking of non-kosher/forbidding food? Reply

How great is our L-rd! Hashem feeds you, rabbi, with the best fo his wheat. You share it with us - and so we are there who eat together - in unity of our souls and in love to the Word of G-d we share in the Presence, the wisdom, revelation and understanding. I love unity of souls! It is so beautifully pure. Reply

Berachot is a meal that you have together as 3. Meal of 3 people who sit at a table and join as friends could talk about their day. And understand one another problems. Reply

I don't know if that's correct that people weren't so frum back them. Some were ignorant and laws were written to help them. But that was a small group. Reply

I don't understand completely. 3 need to be gathered together to thank for food, but isn't each person already comprised of 3 individual parts? - the mind the body and the spirit. When you pray or give thanks you should always do this with every part of your being this is common knowledge. So even if you are eating by yourself, aren't 3 parts of you praising God for the food?

No we don't separate a tenth of food these days. We just give a tenth if our financial earnings to charity.

Yes one always says birkat hamazon. If there's three or more than we also say zimun Reply

Beautiful and clear ,
Thank you rabbi Reply

Saying Bircat HaMazon So we have learned that we cannot say Zimun without 3 men, but can one say Bircat HaMazon without saying Zimun with less than that 3? Reply

Kol akavod Rav Kaplan Rav Kaplan,

I was attending your lesson from Paris, I am french but I understand english quite well.

I subscribed on this channel after the mail I received yesterday, I saw an opportunity to start Gemara and I really appreciated your 1st lesson. As a beginner in Gemara I confirm this class was just perfect and understandable.

Kol tov and see you next week BH! Reply

A Brachah for the Rabbi Yasher Koach Rabbi Kaplan. An excellent class. It felt like when I was sitting at a shiur 30 years ago studying Berachot. Your shiur refreshed my knowledge of the Mishna and included interesting observations from real life and insights from Pnei Yehoshua, Tzemach Tzedek and more. Reply

Intermediate Talmud:lesson 1 Shalom Rabbi Kaplan;

I have a question. I loved your teaching on this subject. What I am needing to know is, do you still take a tenth from food in this period of time before eating it, and if so what do you do with it.? Since there is no longer a Temple or Priest, I understand giving thanks to G-d for the food and drinks, but I don't understand why you would take a tenth out of what you are going to eat now. And as I asked, what do you do with it now. I look forward to hearing your answer and appreciate your wisdom and teaching.
Shalom and have a great day. Reply
