Birkat HaMazon: Eating for Minyan

You may say birkat ha'mazon with a minyan if:
  • At least seven men washed, said ha'motzi, and ate bread, with
  • Enough other men who ate some food (anything other than water or salt) to total 10 men.
NoteIf the 10 men's eating overlapped in time with each other, they MAY say birkat ha'mazon with a minyan. 
If the 10 men began eating at the same time, they MUST say birkat ha'mazon with a minyan.
