All Things are for God

Rav Judah said in the name of Samuel: To enjoy anything of the world without [reciting] a blessing is like making personal use of things consecrated to heaven, since it says: “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.”  (Psalm 24:1) Talmud, Berachot 35a

Blessings

Every Jew is responsible to say one hundred blessings every day.   How do we know this?   As the Torah says, “And now Israel what (mah) does God demand of you?”   The Hebrew word mah is the equivalent of one hundred.   -Menahot 43b
