What is the significance of blessings over food?
One of the reasons that G-d created humans to sense pleasure, is in order that we appreciate His goodness. Through this appreciation, we will recognize our obligation to observe G-d’s commandments. In turn, He will then bestow more goodness upon us.
Blessings over food are a way that we verbally express our appreciation for G-d’s blessings.
