Question
Shalom uvrakhah,
regarding the Birkat HaOre’ach and the “HaRachaman” that precedes it: if I live with my mother in a rented apartment, what is the correct wording to say – “ba’alat ha‑bayit” (the owner of the house), “ba’alat ha‑se’udah” (the owner of the meal), or something else?
Thank you very much.

Answer
Shalom uvrakhah,
If she is the one renting the apartment, you say: “ba’alat ha‑bayit” (the owner of the house).
If you are renting the apartment together with her and she pays for the food, you say: “ba’alat ha‑se’udah” (the owner of the meal).
If you share the food expenses with her, you say only: “HaRachaman Hu yevarech et imi morati” (May the Merciful One bless my mother, my teacher).
