Description

Which words are essential in qualifying for a blessing? Which names of Hashem can be used? Is the mentioning of Hashem's kingdom a requirement? How do you explain the berachos that do not mention His Kingdom such as shemonah esreih, elokaiy neshama? Berachos can be said in languages other than Hebrew - need one understand this language? Does any and every language work for berachos or is it limited to the 70 languages?
