In the previous shiur, we studied the Tosafot (with beginning words לא יערענו), reviewed his difficulty with Rashi’s explanation, and discussed his two alternative answers for how to understand the beraita about using olive oil as a remedy for a sore throat on Shabbat. We then completed the sugya about olive oil, discussing the gemara’s answer as to why the amoraic halacha about the beracha to be made is indeed something we would not have known without this source.
In this shiur, we move on to a new sugya, about the beracha to be made on flour from wheat and related questions. This short sugya continues down the middle part of Berachot 36a.
