Lesson

In the previous shiur, we finished the sugya about rice and saw how the amoraim decided that that the beracha בורא מיני מזונות  should be used for rice, despite the sources in the name of Rav and Shmuel that implied otherwise and were proven to be in contradiction to the tanaitic sources.

In this shiur, the gemara (Berachot 37a and continuing onto 37b) will again look at the tanaitic sources (baraitot) that had been previously quoted, and compare them with others that are contradictory in some respects. Out of this discussion will emerge the full halacha concerning also the blessing to be said after eating rice, which is as we know it today from the poskim.
