Description

The sugya of Birchas Hamazon is found in Masechet Berachot 48b, and this mitzva is clear in the Torah and is defined as a DeOaraisa. The verse establishes three Berachos that make up this mitzva. Could it be then that 3 berachos are DeOraisa? It would indeed seem so. Yet the sugya establishes that the Berachos were established by Moshe, Yehoshua, Dovid & Shlomo! Clearly then these Berachos are only DeRabanan! How do we reconcile this seeming contradiction? We will study many Rishnim who assume that all 3 Berachos make up the Torah requirement, but the precise Nusach was created by the Chachamim. Our goal is to define the Torah requirement of Birkas HaMazon, and reveal the great debate regarding this issue.
