We discuss the correct blessing over fruits and wine

We examine who takes precedence in leading the zimun and the great reward for the one who does so.

We discuss who is best placed to lead birchat hamazon and the blessing of the guest for the host.

It is acceptable within a group of three for the two who have finished and want to bentch to force the third member of the group to stop and listen to the zimun. A single individual cannot force the other two in the group to stop for the zimun if they want to carry on eating.

We learn that it is a disagreement between the Shulchan Aruch and the Rama whether boys below bar mitzvah join to form a zimun. Sephardim permit this whilst Ashkenazim do not.

We learn that although woman do not form a zimun with men, they do form a zimun together with women.

We discuss the ruling of the Rama who holds that ideally the requirement to bentch is only fully fulfilled when a person has drunken during a meal (if they were thirsty).

We then turn to the proper way to respond to a zimun if you have not eaten anything.

Whilst ideally Halacha requires at least three people who have eaten bread to form a zimun, we discuss where other foods eaten are acceptable for an individual to help form the zimun.

We explore if a zimun can be created when a latecomer joins 2 people who have already finished their meal.
