Birkat HaMazon

Rabbi Gary Pokras chants Birkat HaMazon (the Blessing After a Meal), with Hebrew text visible, according to the Reform Jewish tradition.

[@mezzodolce]

I'm in the process of converting, and with memory issues have had some problems memorizing trope and the Hebrew. This video has been immensely helpful. Thank you so much! Shalom!

[@KairuHakubi]

flippin nice singing voice Rabbi.

[@mezzodolce]

Would you consider doing a similar video for the Amidah?

[@rabbigarypokras]

I'm delighted you found this helpful! We do have plans to upload more videos but because of my own time constraints it will probably not be until the summer at the earliest. The local rabbi you are working with should be able to provide you with a recording in the meanwhile. Best wishes on your conversion!

[@MegaJoshgibson]

+Rabbi Gary Pokras I second this request

[@magdalenabuck484]

Shalom and thanks.I wishing realy you be able To do AMIDA. I love you way.... Thanks .

[@Moon_Aviation]

@@rabbigarypokras Still waiting for Amidah :). Could you also consider doing a Tefillin and Tallis video?

[@ESponge2000]

The USY version has some added lines like this Tehilat Adonai yadaber pi Vivarech kol basar Sheim kodsho Leolam vaed Va’anachnu Navareich ya Meatah vaed olam Haleluya Also the very ending extends with Yrut et Adonai k’doshav Ki ein machsor lirei-at…. That whole part

[@iosoi3145]

Hi, what does USY mean? Is it a type of siddur?

[@francisaustere1879]

I've started to study Hebrew for my History cursus, and I'm loving it! If I may, I'd like to ask a question: how is defined the melody of each prayer? Is there some kind of music sheet? Thank you for the video, from France!

[@benyseus6325]

The tunes were made by the ancients, it’s been that way for 2000+ years. Though some sing it differently

[@kuryaguilar7291]

[@estradavidco]

Could you please let us see the transliteration, so we can follow 😊

[@NavDDG54]

This was good, but unfortunately is not the complete Birkat Hamazon

[@jeffblack8457]

It's for a Reform audience. There are complete Birkat Hamazonim elsewhere online.

[@laszlo8367]

Toda raba!

[@NoChance1]

Wow

[@cadiscase]

What book are you reading out of? Thanks and thanks for the singing.

[@rabbigarypokras]

I used Mishkan Tefillah, the official siddur (prayerbook) of the Reform Movement, published by CCAR Press. I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@cielarko6210]

Secular here but I just want to add this practice. However this doesn't follow the order in my Seder. I'm Sephardic. Is there a Sephardic version of this song?

[@Inter6Dral2milan]

Shalom salam salut, ou peux t'on trouver ce livre et quel est le titres ,....‹?bahou hachem

[@teremartinez3305]

Please write the pronunciation... I don't speak Hebrew and it's a little difficult... or can you tell me where I find this prayer ?? Thanks ...

[@3952327]

Go to Play Store or App Store and download application named "Daily Jewish Prayers". It has all daily Prayers, Blessings (Birkat Ha-Mazon is a blessing) and Halakha laws.

[@30caddie]

Chag Sameach Rabbi Pokras who is now at Temple Beth Zion in Buffalo NY and we are loving him back here with us.

[@edvenify]

Is there somewhere online I can find the text?

[@y25151956]

Thanks for posting but skipped many essential parts of the birkat hamazon

[@annarobinson72]

Que Bonito!🙏🙏😍😍😍

[@danyelachanel6619]

todah

[@justinshabtai]

Why did you skip ברכת ירושלים?

[@jon_co]

Nice :-) A couple of small errors: At 1:47 there is some reverse discrimination when you misread "birshut hahevra" (with everyone's permission) and say instead "birshut hahavera" (with the girlfriend's permission); and at 4:37 you mispronounce "besorot tovot" as "beSHorot tovot". Otherwise a nice rendition.

[@taladiv3415]

A note from a hebrew viewer from Israel: pronounce bSorot tovot instead of bsHorot tovot.

[@isabelamacavei1333]

What if it's not Shabbat? And why is Birkat HaMazon not said in a synagogue yet the blessings happen at a Chabad?

[@Master-fz4mo]

2:10

[@fresiavey6019]

se nos complica, no sabemos hebreo y esta en ingles!

[@Supremanina]

Salmo 145

[@skpn123]

Too fast to learn from...... but awesome - perhaps slow the recording down 😉

[@kuryaguilar7291]

Perdon..... K ise decir shavua tov

[@missshuggenah]

8 people don't know what their watching

[@cielarko6210]

Pudiera substituir la pronunciación Ado*ai por... Hashem? Sería más concordante al mandamiento de no usar el nombre de D-os en vano.
