Rabbi Samson Rafael Hirsch gives some brilliant insights into Birkas
HaMazon and brochos in general in his commentary on <br><br>
Devarim 8:10 <font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><b><i>When
you eat and are satisfied, then bless
</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>God</font>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>, your God, for the good land
that He has given you.<br><br>
</i></b>Rav Hirsch concludes his commentary on this Pasuk by writing,
"</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>We believe that we have
thus found a key to the system of
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>Birkas
HaMitzvos</i></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>."
