This episode begins with an exploration of the obligation to recite birkat ha-mazon after eating bread and what that means for us. Next, we discuss the halachic parameters of starting benching off with a ‘zimmun’--for men and women.

This episode has been sponsored in gratitude to the Women Talking Mitzvot podcast and its hosts by the Buchman Community in Modiin.
