Stand-Up Bencher, Birchas Hamazon Design #159, Eduth Mizrach

Design #159 is a stand-up birchas hamazon: instead of lying flat and sliding under a napkin, it is folded to stand upright at the place setting where a guest can see it without hunting. At a long table that is the whole argument for it — a hundred benchers standing at a hundred settings look intentional, and nobody has to lift the bread plate to find one.

This one is printed in Eduth Mizrach nusach, so it is ordered for a room that davens Eduth Mizrach rather than as a general-purpose bencher. Check that before you order for a mixed crowd; the printing is not meshulav.

The #159 design is also produced as a prayer booklet, which is a useful pairing when there are tefillos being said at the same simcha. Benchers and booklets in one design at each setting is the kind of detail that costs almost nothing on an order this size and shows in every photograph of the table.
