In the previous shiur, we completed our discussion in depth of the main part of the sugya. We discussed how the dispute between R.Yehuda and the Chachamim can apply–according to one opinion– both to the issue of choosing the specific kind of fruit, out of more than one that are in front of a person to eat, on which to make the beracha common to them, and also in certain cases to the issue of which beracha to make first if there are fruit to eat that have among them more than one beracha to make. In the last part of the shiur, we learned the first part of the first Tosafot at the top of the page at Berachot 41a, which clarified the intent of the amora עולא (and also the amora in the later section who agrees with him) regarding the nature of the agreement between R.Yehuda and the Chachamim when the fruit/food to be eaten does not all have the same beracha. Please review this material, and I am happy to answer any questions or further discuss any of this at the beginning of this shiur before we continue.
In this shiur, we will continue learning the Tosafot that we began, and also learn a short Tosafot further down the page. Then we will go back to the gemara and begin learning the new part of the sugya, i.e. we will read and translate and break down the remaining part of the sugya (starting 12 lines up from the bottom of Berachot 41a starting with the words “ופליגא דרבי חנן”) into its logical segments and identify the flow. This part of the sugya will present an entirely different drash and different set of information learned from the pasuk in Devarim 8 that lists the seven species that adorn the Land of Israel.
