In the previous shiur, we finished our initial reading of the sugya to the end, at the two dots 5 lines up from the bottom of Berachot 35a: we read and translated it, and then identified the pieces and the flow of the logic. In so doing, we saw and discussed how the sugya comes to its final conclusion. However, there were details along the way to which we did not pay attention, so we are not completely finished with the sugya. Please review what we have done, and if there are questions we will discuss them at the beginning of this shiur, or during the shiur as they come up.
In this shiur, we will finish discussing this first sugya of the chapter. We will go back and discuss the various details that we previously glossed over, we will read the comments of Rashi on these, and we will also study the important final comments of Tosafot on the page. Time allowing, we will begin the new section of gemara at the bottom of Berachot 35a.
