About this Lesson
Even though a Gentile is not commanded in a explicit way to bless God for the food that he eats, not before he eats and not after he eats, it is obvious by intellectual reasoning that a person should thank and bless God for eating the food He gives him, and likewise for providing for all of his needs.
How does one do this?
Before he eats, it is proper to make a request to God that He please give him enough sustenance, and he should say words of praise and thanks for that which God gave him. It is permissible for him to bless with the blessing in the version that the Sages instituted as you learn during this lesson.
