Zidqa brikha
In Mandaeism, the zidqa brikha is a type of ritual meal blessed by Mandaean priests. Zidqa means oblation and can also mean alms, while brikha means blessed. Unlike the lofani, which is a minor ritual meal does not require the presence of a priest, the zidqa brikha needs to be prepared by a priest.

The zidqa brikha is offered and eaten at the end of tarmida initiation ceremonies, after the novice's 60-day seclusion period. It is also offered at weddings and during the Parwanaya festival. During Parwanaya, the zidqa brikha is performed privately by priests around midnight, rather than in front of a large congregation of laypeople.
The ahaba ḏ-mania or hava ḏ-mania is a form of zidqa brika for those who have not died wearing the ritual garment, or for the ritually impure. It is performed on a proxy during the Parwanaya.
It is distinct from the lofani and dukrana, which are two other types of ritual meal offered for the dead.
