When purchased as part of the 6-Volume Handbook Edition, the HPLS Bencher is supplied with black covers, and an index is included for the 6-volumes of the set.

The HPLS Bencher volume is similar to the Mealtime Blessings, Edition, however, the HPLS Bencher also contains the Kiddush for the Sabbath and Festivals.

The details of the HPLS Bencher are described below:

Part 1, Grace after Meals. For the Sabbath and Festivals, the grace starts with introductory Psalm 126 (Sheer HahMahAhloht).

For Weekdays, introductory Psalm 137 is provided in two-column (not transliterated) format as it is not usually said out loud. The remainder of the HPLS Bencher is completely transliterated.

The Invitation to Grace is the first blessing, followed by the four main blessings that make up the Grace after Meals. The HPLS Bencher includes the complete grace after meals and the passages for Chanukah, Purim, Rosh Chodesh (new moon), and all the Jewish Festival.

Part 2, The Seven Blessings for Bride and Groom (ShehVah Brachot). These blessings are said at the wedding ceremony and at the grace after meal during the first week of marriage.

Part 3, Sabbath Songs (Z'mirot). Songs (all fully transliterated) traditionally sung at the Sabbath table, includes: M'nooChah V'simChah, Yohm Zeh L'YisRahEhl, Mah Y'deeDoot, Tzoor MeeShehLoh, Yah ReeBohn, BahRooch Ehl EhlYohn, Yohm Zeh M'chooBahd, Yohm ShahBahTohn, Kee EhshM'rah ShahBaht, MeezMohr L'dahVeed (Psalm 23), and Y'deed NehFehsh. The music for these transliterations can be found on our Free Blessing Sheets

Part 4, Various Blessings. This part of the HPLS Bencher contains various blessings pertaining to food, and includes the blessing for washing the hands, the HahMohTzee (said before eating bread), ShehHahKohl (blessing said before drinking liquids other than wine, and before eating food other than cakes and pastry), and the blessings for eating fruit, vegetables, smelling fragrant spices, etc.

The last part of the HPLS Bencher contains the Friday Night Kiddush, Shabbat Morning Kiddush, and the evening and morning kiddush for the three Major Jewish Festivals.
