After the Meal

The "Birchat Hamazon" is the name of the blessing we sing after a Shabbat meal. The Hebrew and English can be found below.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם. הַזָּן אֶת הָעוֹלָם כֻּלּוֹ. בְּטוּבוֹ בְּחֵן בְּחֶסֶד וּבְרַחֲמִים. הוּא נוֹתֵן לֶחֶם לְכָל בָּשָׂר. כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ:

וּבְטוּבוֹ הַגָּדוֹל תָּמִיד לֹא חָסַר לָנוּ וְאַל יֶחְסַר לָנוּ מָזוֹן לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד. בַּעֲבוּר שְׁמוֹ הַגָּדוֹל. כִּי הוּא אֵל זָן וּמְפַרְנֵס לַכֹּל וּמֵטִיב לַכֹּל וּמֵכִין מָזוֹן לְכָל בְּרִיּוֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר בָּרָא:

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְהֹוָה. הַזָּן אֶת הַכֹּל:

 

Baruch ata Adonoy, Eloheinu melech ha-olam,

ha-zan es ha-olam kulo be-tuvo

be-chein be-chesed uve-rachamim

hu nosein lechem le-chol basar, ki le-olam chasdo.

Uv-tuvo ha-gadol, tamid lo chasar lanu

ve'al yechsar lanu mazon le-olam va’ed.

Ba'avur shemo ha gadol

ki hu El zan umi-farneis la-kol

u-meitiv la-kol u-meichin mazon

le-chol beriyosav asher bara.

Baruch ata Adonoy, ha-zan es ha-kol.

 

Blessed are you, Lord our God, Sovereign of the world, who provides food for the

entire world in His goodness, with grace, kindness and mercy. He supplies bread for

all living beings, for His kindness is everlasting. Because of His great goodness, we

have never lacked food, nor will we ever lack it on account of His great name. For He

is God who nourishes and sustains all, and is good to all, and who supplies food for

all His creatures which He created. Blessed are You, God, who provides food for all.
