What Blessing Is Recited on Cheese Borekas?
Question
Hello,
I would appreciate if you could answer... What blessing is recited on cheese borekas? Is it the opening blessing or the concluding blessing? And if I ate 4-5 borekas, should I recite the concluding blessing of Al HaMichya or Birkat Hamazon?
Thank you very much!!
Answer
Greetings,
1. The opening blessing is Borei Minei Mezonot, and the concluding blessing is Al HaMichya.
2. However, if you have eaten 216 grams or more of borekas, then the opening blessing is Hamotzi, and the concluding blessing is Birkat Hamazon (see Yalkut Yosef, Siman 168, paragraphs 3 and 8).
Sincerely, Hillel Meirs
