We are in the middle of the sugya (at the bottom of Berachot 35b) that is looking for the case in which we would make a bracha of בורא פרי העץ before consuming olive oil.
In the previous shiur, we discussed in depth the first two suggested answers offered by the amoraim in the gemara, and why each is rejected. Please review this material and if there are questions we can discuss them at the beginning of this shiur.
In this shiur, we will learn in depth the gemara’s third and final answer, see why it is also problematic but how the problem is resolved by a further refinement of the understanding of the case. We will study the comments of Rashi on this segment, and time allowing we will also see the comments of Tosafot.
