โAnyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-comeโ (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)
Question:
In a previous Halacha Moment we discussed that one needs to eat a Kezayit (around 27 grams) of food in order to recite a Berachah Achrona. That being said, If one ate a half Kezayit of mein shalosh (something mezonot) and a half Kezayit of boreh nefashot can he combine them to recite a Boreh nefashot?
Answer:
Very interesting question, it's a Machloket.
According to Sephardic custom one needs to eat a full Kezayit of the category of food that requires that Berachah Achrona in order to be obligated in reciting that Berachah Achrona. For example: one who eats half a Kezayit of cookies and half a Kezayit of Candie would not recite any Berachah Achrona since one needs to eat a full kezayit (around 27 grams) and may not combine. [1]
According to Ashkenaz poskim one who ate half a Kezayit of Mein Shalosh and half of Boreh Nefashot, would need to recite a Boreh Nefashot. [2]
