Nusah Eretz Yisrael

If there is a thing about which it is said: ‘Look, this is new!’ — it has already been in former times, before our own

Qoheleth 1:10

Less is More

• Do you sometimes not eat bread in order not to have to say Birkath HaMazon?
• Do you find Birkath HaMazon too long?
• Do you find it difficult to focus during Birkath HaMazon because of the sea of words and repetitions?

It is better to say less with kavannah than to say much without kavannah.

Tur/Shulhan Arukh, Orah Hayim 1

The essential thing about all the Berakhoth is to recite them with proper kavannah – for that which is said without kavannah counts for nothing.

Sepher HaMinhagoth, R. Asher of Lunelle, 9:2
