In this ten-minute video featured on Chabad.org, Rabbi Mendel Kaplan discusses the halachic and spiritual significance of the Grace After Meals according to Maimonides (Rabbi Moses ben Maimon, 1135-1204), a highly influential leader, philosopher, Torah scholar, and physician. Maimonides points out that Judaism is the only religion which mandates that one should make a blessing after eating (as opposed to just before), when it is more challenging to remember to thank God for providing one’s nourishment. This video would be relevant for those seeking a more in-depth explanation of why Jews are obligated to recite this blessing. Rabbi Mendel Kaplan is the founder and spiritual leader of Chabad @ Flamingo in Thornhill, Ontario,
