עוֹד לֹא אָכַלְנוּ
עוֹד לֹא שָׁתִינוּ
יָבֵשׁ לָנוּ בַּגָּרוֹן
הָבוּ לָנוּ מַשְׁקֶה
מִיט אַ בִּיסֶל קאַשקע
אָז נשירה וְנָרֹן
עוֹד לֹא אָכַלְנוּ
עוֹד לֹא שָׁתִינוּ
יָבֵשׁ לָנוּ בַּגָּרוֹן
מוּכָנִים כְּבָר אָנוּ
לֶאֱכוֹל כּוּלָנוּ
וְנׁאמָר בְּתֵיאָבוֹן

Isa was watching Youtube in her bed
She was starving because she hadn't been fed
She tried to get up to eat
But she fell back asleep
And she was then presumed dead
My Mom will make two challahs each week, and we will eat one of them at dinner on Friday night, and will sometimes eat the other challah as French toast, or just eat it over a short period of time.
Halachot are Jewish Laws determined by "the rabbis".
For a fascinating read about the rabbis' attitudes about food, why two loaves, and which foods should not be eaten because they will give you bad breath, or even worse, intestinal troubles, go to the source above by clicking on the underlined heading, and read through for a while.

I think that Benjamin's blessing was a good one, and it doesn't need to have god in it. You just have thank him. The blessing doesn't need the work god. Sometimes, like in the holocaust, they couldn't say a blessing with god in it. Those were still blessings.
