Before We Eat: A Thank You Prayer (Very First Board Books)

Bread and butter on my plate. I’m so hungry, I can’t wait.

But before I take a bite, I say some words that feel just right.

Hamotzi is a thank you prayer,

telling God how much I care.

Good food, a home, a family,

are gifts that God has given me.

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu, melech ha’olam hamotzi lechem min ha’aretz.

Thank you God, for the blessing of bread, and for the meal which we will now enjoy.
