In the previous shiur, we continued in the sugya on Berachot 36a concerning the beracha to be made on wheat meal/flour. We discussed in depth how Rav Nahman defended his position both by dismissing Rava’s attempted proof from a diyuk on the earlier amoraic halacha stated by Shmuel, and also by showing why Shmuel’s halacha needed to be stated the way it was. Please review the material and if there are questions I will be happy to discuss them at the beginning of this shiur.
In this shiur, we will study the final segment of the sugya, in which Rava and Rav Nahman argue one last point, which emerges from Rav Nahman’s previous answer. Time allowing, we will move on to begin a new sugya, on the subject of the beracha בורא מיני מזונות and which discusses the categories of foods for which we say that beracha.
