Today we are going to analyse the first part of the Grace after Meals.  This blessing is very important because anytime that a Jew eats bread, we give thanks to God.  Bread has many different stages that it goes through before it is finally on the table.  How people looked at the wheat seed and figured out that bread would be the final result is amazing.

There are four main parts of the Grace after meals.  Here is a link to the whole text:

The first part is the blessing over food:  This is our chart that we are going to use to figure out all the vocabulary in the first blessing
