Birkat Hamazon is said after bread. After cake, wine or the fruits of the Land of Israel, say Al Hamichya; after other foods, Borei Nefashot.
Read and understand Birkat Hamazon
Birkat Hamazon, the grace after meals, is a commandment of the Torah: "You shall eat, be satisfied and bless the Lord your G-d" (Deuteronomy 8:10). It is said after eating bread, at least the size of a kezayit. It has four blessings: Hazan (who nourishes), Al ha'aretz (the land), Boneh Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) and Hatov vehametiv. On Shabbat we add Retzei; on Rosh Chodesh and festivals, Ya'aleh veyavo; on Chanukah and Purim, Al hanissim.
When three men or more have eaten together, they begin with the Zimun. The text differs between communities: Sephardi and Edot Hamizrach, Ashkenazi, Chassidic (Nusach Sfard), according to the Arizal, or Yemenite (Baladi). Choose yours: it is remembered on your device.
