Real-Talk Torah: The Real Reason for Bentching 🍞 (Not just Gratitude)
Why do we Bentch? To show gratitude? Because the Torah said so? If it's for gratitude, why do we need to be commanded? If it's a commandment, is it pure gratitude? Why isn't it enough to just say, 'Thank you for the food?' Why is the formula for Bentching so complicated and specific, that we have to mention Bris, Torah, Eretz Yisrael and Malchus Beis Dovid just because we ate a slice or 2 of pizza for lunch? The answer can be found in a history lesson in our Parsha.
