Benchers (also spelled bentchers) are small booklets or cards with Birchas Hamazon (ברכת המזון), the Grace After Meals recited after eating a meal with bread. Many benchers also include Shabbos zemiros. A bencher set pairs a set of benchers with a matching holder for the table. For Birchas Hamazon wall art and plaques, see our Birchas Hamazon collection.

What does the first bracha of benching say?

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה' אֱלֹקֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, הַזָּן אֶת הָעוֹלָם כֻּלּוֹ בְּטוּבוֹ, בְּחֵן בְּחֶסֶד וּבְרַחֲמִים, הוּא נוֹתֵן לֶחֶם לְכָל בָּשָׂר כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ. וּבְטוּבוֹ הַגָּדוֹל תָּמִיד לֹא חָסַר לָנוּ, וְאַל יֶחְסַר לָנוּ מָזוֹן לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד. בַּעֲבוּר שְׁמוֹ הַגָּדוֹל, כִּי הוּא קֵל זָן וּמְפַרְנֵס לַכֹּל, וּמֵטִיב לַכֹּל, וּמֵכִין מָזוֹן לְכָל בְּרִיּוֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר בָּרָא. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה', הַזָּן אֶת הַכֹּל.

What does benching mean?

Benching, or Birchas Hamazon, is made up of four main brachos. The first, thanking Hashem for feeding the whole world, was composed by Moshe Rabbeinu. The second, thanking Hashem for Eretz Yisrael, was composed by Yehoshua. The third, asking for the rebuilding of Yerushalayim, was composed by Dovid Hamelech and his son Shlomo Hamelech. The fourth, praising Hashem Who is good and does good, was added later by Chazal.

Is a bencher set a good gift?

Yes! A bencher set is a meaningful Judaica gift for a wedding, a new home, a hostess, or a Bar or Bas Mitzvah. It’s an elegant and practical Jewish wedding gift a couple will use at every Shabbos and Yom Tov meal.
