Birkat Hamazon 

Brings me back to Camp Tel Yehuda in...yes I'm old...1981. Thanks for posting!

My synagogue, Congregation Beth Am in Los Altos, California, sings this with almost the same lyrics and melody! When we do in this on the retreats, people actually have to lift stuff off the table to make sure it doesn't spill from the strength with which we pound the tables!!

this brings back so many memories for me from when I went to camp Swig in the 1970s and 1980s. Thank you posting this video.

Omg i went to CHK in the early 80s.i know all those songs are in my brain somewhere!

when you read it over and over, you eventaully remember. But it's good to still read it. I like the NCSY Bencher :)

Wow this brings me back, I went to Crane Lake camp which is a only a few hours drive away from Camp Harlam and we did this the exact same way! This video really captures the vibe perfectly as I remember it :)

This is the same song that Camp Coleman does except faster and differently. This brings back memories

very interesting, I go to Camp Harlam and we sing it a little differently. We also have very different hand motions.

Banging also brings an element of a play and cute mischief when done by young people; not talking about it (the banging) being a centuries long tradition

Banging on the table is a very naturral human move when singing....there's a rhytm and a tempo to a song, and it's mainted and enforced with drumming no the table

HASHEM IS THE MAN, MAN. MISS U RABBI BLAU

greetings from mexico

camp komaroff 70s 80s represent- lake arrowhead Ca!

My sleepwear camp does that after every meal too.

Awesome Birchat Hamazon!

2 the tune of Country Roads 'Lara Hardy, we cannot lie, you have really, really big eyes, you come from england, thats all we got, we apoligize

at jacobs camp in mississippi, we do it like that, but we don't hit the table as much as you guys do

❤birkat amazon is amazing😊

How fun! This is going to make it so much easier to teach to our kids (we're converting). After you guys said the first portion, where do you pic up at? I've been trying to figure it out, but since I'm new at all this, I can't make out what you're saying because of all the noise. Cute!

🥰

The sleep away camp I go to does this same ritual every meal

Lol I could first tell Max was leading it by how long he waited for everyone to be quiet XD

2:41 when you figure out it’s Shabbat and there’s another Rhaman Verse 😂

Très sympathique que sont devenus ces trois jeunes gens aujourd'hui ? Pouvez-vous me donner des nouvelles de vous ? août 2020 ! Comme le temps passe vite.

what's with the eye thing?

why does duncan always look like a dear in the headlights

I have one question and one comment: Is there any significance to the banging the hands on the tables? On Purim it is done to blot out the name of Haman. Why do it during the Birkat Hamazon? Or is it just for fun? And, It is wonderful to hear this. Thank you.

@doosterchick11 madddd catchy
