In this shiur we will study the mishna in the middle of the page at Berachot 40b, which details the kinds of foods on which one should (לכתחילה) make the blessing שהכל נהיה בדברו. The latter part of the mishna deals with a different subject: how you choose on which food to make a bracha that is common to a number of different foods that are in front of you on the table. After we learn and discuss the mishna, we will learn the first part of the gemara, which basically supplements the information in the mishna and then proceeds to explain the meaning of the concept “נובלות”.
