A <em>bracha acharona<\/em> is recited when drinking at least a <em>revi&#8217;is<\/em> (3.8 fl. oz.) within a 30 second span. If one drank between 1.0 fl. oz. (<em>kezayis <\/em>according to some opinions) and 3.8 fl. oz. (and cannot drink more) within a 30 second span, a <em>bracha acharona<\/em> is not recited. However, if one also requires an <em>Al Hamichya<\/em> or <em>Al Ha\u2019eitz<\/em> at this time, one can also include <em>Al Hagefen<\/em>. See <em>Mishnah Berurah<\/em> [M.B.] 208:82.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. This depends on the percentage of grape juice. If there is a majority of grape juice (51%), recite <em>Hagefen\/Al Hagefen<\/em>. However, if the mixture is <em>rov <\/em>water (or another beverage such as apple juice) the <em>bracha <\/em>depends on various factors. See <em>Rama <\/em>202:1, <em>M.B.<\/em> and <em>Biur Halacha<\/em>. Consult a <em>rav<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. <em>Nikkar <\/em>means it is still noticeable. Typically, shredded coconut or grated potatoes are considered <em>nikkar <\/em>and the original <em>bracha <\/em>is retained. However, if finely ground or processed, the original form is no longer <em>nikkar <\/em>and the <em>bracha <\/em>is changed to <em>Shehakol<\/em>. See <em>M.B. <\/em>208:37-38.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Matzah brei is typically made from matzah that was broken into pieces less than a <em>kezayis<\/em>. (The fact that they are reformed into a <em>kezayis <\/em>is irrelevant). The <em>halacha <\/em>is as follows: If the pieces of matzah were boiled in water, or submerged into a <em>kli rishon<\/em> off the fire, or the matzah is no longer <em>nikkar <\/em>(e.g., it was fried in oil with eggs), one recites <em>Mezonos\/Al Hamichya<\/em>. If the matzah was <em>not <\/em>boiled and the matzah was pan-fried with <em>minimal <\/em>oil or butter (e.g., an oil spray was used), and the matzah is still <em>nikkar<\/em>, one recites <em>Hamotzi\/Birchas Hamazon<\/em>. See <em>Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim <\/em>[<em>S.A. O.C.<\/em>] 168:10 and <em>M.B<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Egg matzah and <em>matzah ashira<\/em> may not be eaten on Pesach according to Ashkenazic practice, except by the sick or elderly who cannot eat regular matzah and require egg matzah. Consult your <em>rav<\/em>. Please note: Even the sick and elderly cannot fulfill the obligation to eat matzah at the <em>Seder <\/em>with these types of <em>matzos<\/em>. As noted in the chart, in general, the <em>bracha rishona<\/em> is <em>Mezonos <\/em>and the <em>bracha acharona<\/em> is <em>Al Hamichya<\/em>. However, if one is <em>kovea seudah<\/em> on it (e.g., as part of a full meal), recite <em>Hamotzi <\/em>and <em>Birchas Hamazon<\/em>. See <em>Rama O.C. <\/em>562:4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. The <em>bracha acharona<\/em> on wine and grape juice made in Israel ends with the words \u201c<em>v\u2019al pri gafna<\/em>\u201d (instead of \u201c<em>v\u2019al pri hagafen<\/em>\u201d). See<em> Birkei Yosef O.C. <\/em>208:58.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. We assume the pieces of matzah are still <em>nikkar <\/em>as matzah or at least one piece of matzah remained a <em>kezayis<\/em>. See<em> S.A. O.C. <\/em>168:10<em> <\/em>and <em>M.B.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. We assume that the matzah rolls are made from matzah meal that was put into a <em>kli rishon<\/em> of water or the \u201crolls\u201d do not have the texture of bread (i.e., no <em>tzuras hapas<\/em>). See <em>S.A. O.C. <\/em>168:10<em> <\/em>and <em>M.B.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9. Quinoa may need to be checked for possible insect infestation. See star-k.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10. If matzah meal cake is eaten for dessert at the end of  a meal that began with matzah\/<em>Hamotzi<\/em>, no <em>bracha <\/em>is recited on the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11. If potato starch cake (or any other <em>Shehakol <\/em>&#8220;cake&#8221; \u2013 e.g., one made from almond flour) is eaten for dessert at the end of a meal that began with matzah\/<em>Hamotzi<\/em>, a <em>Shehakol <\/em>is recited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a class=\"button\" style=\"background: #057594; color: #ffffff;\" href=https:\/\/www.star-k.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/pesach-foods-and-their-brachos.pdf download=\"\">Download PDF of the Chart<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have you ever taken a bite out of a coconut macaroon and later doubted your choice of bracha?
