Question
At the end of the fast, when drinking water immediately at the beginning of the meal, is it necessary to recite the blessing 'Shehakol', since the reason for not drinking until now is due to the fast and not the meal, as explained in Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 174:7?
Answer
Shalom Rav
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita, one does not recite a blessing during the meal.
