Blessings Variations
Rabbi
When I get up in the morning the first thing I do, after the primary blessings, is to drink a cup of water, and a few minutes later I eat my breakfast, The question is if a drink water I say “she a kol”. When I eat my breakfast I should consider it as another meal and say every blessing for the different items?
Thank you very much for teachings, I need them very much, and sorry, but I enjoy when they are not very long because I always live in a hurry,
Shalom Aleichem, all the best for you and G-d bless you
