In the previous shiur, we finished the first sugya of the chapter. You are welcome, and encouraged, to review it and if you have any questions you can send them to me by email or raise them at the beginning of this shiur.
In this shiur, we will move on to new material brought by the gemara in the lines immediately following the above sugya, at the bottom of the page of Berachot 35a and continuing for several lines at the top of Berachot 35b. This material expands upon the reason for the rabbinic requirement to say a beracha before eating food.
