In the previous shiur, we discussed Rava’s analysis of the dispute between R.Nehemia and the Chachamim (tana kama) in the baraita with which the sugya starts, concerning the correct word to use–מוציא or המוציא–in the blessing before we eat bread. We also studied the gemara’s extension of Rava’s analysis, itself extended further by Rashi, that includes how each side of the dispute deals with the verse used by the other side to prove their point (according to Rava’s explanation). Finally, we discussed the first part of the story brought in the gemara, about R.Zeira and the son of Rav Zavid. Please review.
In this shiur, we will complete our in-depth study of this sugya, starting with the last part of the story brought about R. Zeira and the son of Rav Zavid, and reach the sugya’s conclusion. This material is found in the last lines of the page at Berachot 38a and the top of Berachot 38b.
