Berachot 46 tells us that the guest blesses his host: "may no thought of sin, iniquity, or transgression stand before him or before us from now and for evermore".

I remember seeing that this is because joy from party at times can lead to sin - so we therefore insert this blessing.

Have anyone seen this anywhere?

  • @AviM That's a good point. I'm going to have to think about that. My first impression is that its to avoid a וישמן ישורון ויבעט type issue which would arise after the meal - that the meal put you in the mood for sin and then you'll go from the meal and do a sin. I'm curious if anyone else has any other answers.

  • I think you are right - he does write: מתוך אכילתו ״שאכל״ - he's clearly talking about after the meal.
