In the previous shiur, we read and translated the new sugya on Berachot 36a –about the beracha that should be made upon consumption of wheat flour–and then we identified the logical component segments and how they are interrelated, thereby mapping the flow of the sugya. All this we did without attempting to understand any of the actual content of the discussion. If there are any questions about the key words we identified for mapping the sugya, please raise them at the beginning of this shiur.
In this shiur, we will study the specific arguments and inferences made in each segment of the sugya, and discuss their halachic implications. We will also study the comments of Rashi and Tosafot.
