We are commanded to express gratitude to G‑d after every meal.
This mitzvah commands us to bless Hashem after eating a meal that satisfies. It is the source for Birkat HaMazon (Grace after Meals), a series of blessings thanking Hashem for sustenance, the Land of Israel, Jerusalem, and His constant kindness. Unlike other blessings, which are rabbinic, this mitzvah establishes a Torah obligation to express gratitude after receiving physical satisfaction, reminding us that all sustenance comes from Hashem.
