In the previous shiur, we read and discussed the final segments of the sugya about the reason(s) that we say a beracha before eating. We then began the next sugya (it begins 11 lines up from the end of the midsized lines in the Vilna printing of Berachot 35a), which is about the halacha in the mishna regarding the beracha for wine. This beracha is special and unlike the beracha for all other products that come from a tree. We read and translated the sugya, and then we marked up about half of the sugya (down to the beginning of the third line before the end of the midsized lines on the same page), using key words and phrases to help us identify and visualize the logical components and the flow of the logic. Please review all of this material and if there are any questions we can discuss them at the beginning of this shiur.
In this shiur, we will continue and finish parsing the sugya (which ends in the 6th line before the bottom of the page) into its components and visualize its flow. Then we will go back to the beginning and discuss each item in depth in its sequence, and also see the related comments of Rashi and Tosafot.
