Ma’amar on Bentching

Posted: February 13, 2018

ואכלת ושבעת תשמ”ג This Ma’amar is on Bentching. Why are there three biblical blessings and the ChaZaL added a fourth? It is like the numbers 3, (lights) that is favored by the Sefer Yeztirah, and the number 4, (light and vessel) favored by later Kabbalah. Hashem’s favoritism to His people for Bentching for a smaller amount than what is required.
