Everything about Berakhah totally explained
In
Judaism, a
berakhah or
bracha (
Hebrew:
ברכה; plural ברכות,
berakhot; related to the word "
Baruch") is a
blessing, usually recited at a specific moment during a ceremony or other activity.
Berakhot typically start with the words
Barukh attah, Adonai Eloheinu, melekh ha-olam, ... ("Blessed are you, Lord our God, King of the universe, ...").
One who hears another recite a
berakhah answers with
amen; but one who is engaged in prayer may at certain points be forbidden from other speech, including responding
amen. With few exceptions, one doesn't respond
amen to his or her own
berakha, although other prayers—such as the
kaddish—include "
amen" in their text.
The name also appears in the name of the Valley of
Beracah ("Valley of Blessings")
Brochos on Food
Jews believe that all food belongs to the single provider, God, and the only way to recieve permission from God to eat from his food is to receite a blessing before hand.
There are 6 blessings we say on different foods: Hamotzei, Mezonot, Hagefen, Ha'etz, Ha'adoma, and Shehakol.
