This marvelous book will allow us to open new windows on the understanding of the blessings after the meal , the only ones to have been ordered explicitly by the Torah.
“You will eat, you will be satisfied, and you will bless Hashem your God for the good land He has given you (Deut. 8,10). It was in gratitude for the manna that Moses composed the first blessing of the Birkath Hamazon. The Sfat Emmesh observes that the blessing for food originally referred only to manna, not other foods. It was not until the Jews entered Eretz-Yisrael that Joshua composed a new blessing, ' Al Haarets véal Hamazon', 'for the land and for food'.
