For tonight, begin on 46a, 5 lines from the bottom, amar Rav Yosef. Learn until the two dots on 46b, amar leih Reish Galusa, 19 lines down. See tosfos on amub beis dh vehatov with Mahrsha. For a discussion how can a poel shorten bentsching, see tosfos on 16a dh vechosem. See Pnei Yehoshua there. See also Magen Avrahom siman 191 sk 1 that discusses this. The point of discussion is whether all three brachos of bensching are mideoraysa, or the three concepts are deoraysah.
