Where must the third person begin Birkat Hamazon after he interrupted for zimun and then continued eating — from 'HaZan' or from 'Nodeh lecha'?
Synopsis
After interrupting for zimun and resuming eating, where the third person begins Birkat Hamazon depends on his original intention. If he intended to eat more (or actually ate more), he starts from 'HaZan'. If he did not intend to eat more and did not eat more, he starts from 'Nodeh lecha'.
