Shabbat Sheva Brachot
Question
We are at a Shabbat Chatan. Which blessings are recited, over how many cups, and what should be done if there aren't ten diners?
Answer
Shalom Rav and Mazal Tov
If there are ten people, the Sheva Brachot are recited. One cup for Birkat Hamazon and a second cup for the Sheva Brachot.
If there aren't ten, but there are seven people who ate bread, additional people can be brought to eat a little and join the diners to recite the blessings.
