For
the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L, Yissachar ben Yona ZT’L and Haviva
bat Yocheved Z’L.
From Yalkut Yosef:
1. One may not provide food to someone who does not know how to say a Berakha (bless) on food. However, if a respected guest arrives who does not keep Torah and Mitzvot but knows the Torah and its students and not providing him food will cause hatred towards the Torah students or asking him to say a Berakha (bless) on the food will cause him embarrassment and further hatred towards the Torah students, one can be lenient and serve him food even if he is not saying a Berakha (blessing) on the food. It is correct for a Talmid (Torah Student) to tell the respected guest to listen so that with a Berakha (blessing) that he will be saying out loud he will fulfill the guest’s obligation to bless.
2. We do not begin conversations during the Seuda (meal), even
in Divrei Torah (words of Torah), to avoid G-d forbid entering food into
the trachea. Even if someone sneezes we do not tell him/her “Bless You” during
the meal. During this time that we do not hold to sit in Hasava (lying
down while eating on your left side) we have the custom to speak in the middle
of the meal. There are also Talmidei Hachamim (Torah Scholars) who hold
to speak words of Torah during their meal. If one hears a Berakha from his
friend and his food is close to his throat after chewing (and he wants to say Amen
to the Berakha) it is best to say Berakha in their head and not literally say
it.
