blessing - Does "Brich Rachamana Malka D'Alma Ma'rei D'Hai Pita' really fullfil the obligation of Birkas Hamazon?


I heard from a friend that, as per the Gemara, saying the following phrase in Aramaic discharges the obligation to recite Bircas Hamazon in its entirety:



Brich rachamana malka d'alma ma'rei d'hai pita.



Is this accurate? Though I know it's obviously much better to do a full bentch, does this truly fulfill the obligation?



Answer



The Gemoro is Brochos 40b. The halocho (very similar to the Shulchan Oruch HaRav) is also brought down in Orach Chayim 187 (1) and see Mishna Berura (4) there. (It seems that it may also serve as a brocho rishono bedieved see Orach Chayim 167 (10).)
