Birkat Hamazon (literally "blessings over the food") is a Jewish prayer recited after eating a meal that includes bread or cake. It expresses gratitude to God for the food and sustenance, and acknowledges the divine source of all blessings. The prayer consists of three main parts:
1. Zemirot (Praise): A series of verses from Psalms and other biblical sources that praise God for His goodness and providence.
2. Berakhot (Blessings): A series of blessings that thank God for creating the food and providing nourishment.
3. Tachanun (Supplication): A brief prayer for God's continued blessing and assistance in the future.
Birkat Hamazon is traditionally recited in a group setting, but may also be recited individually. It is customary to wash the hands before and after the prayer, and to recite the prayer standing up. The text of the prayer is found in Jewish prayer books and is also available online.
