English Birkat HaMazon

Question:

Can one fulfill their requirement by listen and responding to another individual saying birkat hamazon in English or another language that is not hebrew?

 

Answer:

It is best to say birkat hamazon in Hebrew. However, technically it may be said in English or any other language. Additionally, the person listening to the birkas hamazon, has to understand the language that it is being said, unless it is said in Hebrew.

Best wishes
