Bracha Achrona

Blessings after meal

Question

I ate supper and I didnt bentch al hamichyah yet. I remeber later that i idnt bentch yet should i bentch then ( which is a few hours later ) or not?

Answer

Shalom!

Thank you for your question.

A bracha achrona should ideally be recited once one has finished eating and not later than 72 minutes after finishing to eat. lf one still forgot after that time, one may still recite the bracha achrona as long as one still feels full from what one ate.
