From the Rav’s Desk: Bnei Bris in Bentching

Question: [Wednesday, 16th Kisleiv 5781]

I work in an office with goyim and would like to know what I should say in Bentching when it comes to the parentheses (Bnei Bris) by the Harachaman’s. Should I say it because there are Gentiles around or should I not say it being that we’re not eating together?

 

Answer:

You are to recite Bnei Bris whenever there other Gentiles in the room irrelevant of whether they have joined you for your meal.
