In the previous shiur, we read through, translated, and mapped the flow of the short sugya that begins on Berachot 40a, 2 lines after the Mishna that is found towards the bottom of the page. We stopped after discussing the opinions of R.Meir and R.Nehemiah in the baraita. You are welcome to watch/listen to the recording of the shiur if you could not participate live.
In this shiur, we will discuss the somewhat enigmatic opinion of R.Yehuda in that baraita, which is the main focus of this sugya, and we will see an interesting explanation of it from the writings of Rav Shabtai Sabato, the Rosh Yeshiva in Mitzpe Yericho. Time allowing, we will move on to the following sugya.
