Printed postcard bearing the Sephard text of Birkat HaMazon with instructions in Yiddish. Budapest, Shalom Friedman’s Press. Until a little while ago, Birkat HaMazon was hardly ever printed on its own, only as part of a siddur or an anthology/volume that included prayers for various times. An ordinary Jew, upon finishing his meal, experienced an inevitable delay caused by flipping through a sefer to find Birkat HaMazon . This printer instituted a particularly interesting innovation for this issue: He simply printed the words of Birkat HaMazon on a postcard! Thus Birkat HaMazon became accessible and available for immediate use. This Gluyat HaMazon was printed in the capital of Hungary in 1944 – at the height of WWII, just a few months before the Nazi invasion and the murder of hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews.
