Question
Hello Rabbi, In the synagogue or kollel, sometimes the hosts or others bring snacks, etc., and the blessing has already been recited without the intention at the time of the blessing that snacks, etc., would be brought. Is this considered as a guest or as having changed intention? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello Rabbi
Since it is known that more items might be brought, his intention includes them, and there is no need to recite the blessing again.
In this regard, he is like a guest who relies on the intention of the host bringing him the food.
