In the previous shiur, we completed the sugya about the blessing to be made after eating rice in any form. If there are any questions about how the gemara reached its conclusion in this sugya, I am happy to answer them at the beginning of this shiur.
In this shiur, we will jump ahead to a new sugya, which returns to discussing the mishna brought at the beginning of the chapter. This new, relatively short, sugya begins towards the bottom of the page at Berachot 38a, and it is about the correct formulation of the blessing we say before bread: “haMotzi”.
