Begin on 48A, at the two dots 9 lines from the top. Learn until amar Rav Nachman on 48B, 7 lines from the top. See tosfos dh tishah that discusses if one can be mitztaref a person that ate only vegetables to a zimun of three and if that is considered different from a zimun of ten. See also the opinion of the Rif (page 35b beginning from the third line from the top in the Rif). Is there an opinion in the gemara that holds that four vegetable eaters cannot be mitztaref to a zimun because we need a rov deminkar? See gemara that says “shisha vaday lo mibaye lee”. See Rashi dh he’ihu and the mesores hashas on the margin of the gemara that brings a different girsa. This will help explain the last few words in tosfos and the Rif that say that a rov deminkar is required. See Mishna Brura in siman 197 sif 2 and 3 for the halacha.

Learn the gemara beginning on 47b, amar Rav Huna, 7 lines from the bottom. Learn until 48a, the two dots 9 lines down. See tosfos dh velays. Tosfos is very long. The main point to take out of tosfos if it is too lengthy to see the entire tosfos is to see from the beginning of tosfos until the first wide line that brings the shitah of Rabbeinu Tam regarding tziruf of a katan to zimun and tefilah. See Rif on 35a 3 lines from the bottom amar Rav Nachman until the 3rd line on amud beis that argues on Rabbeinu Tam. See Rambam hilchos brachos perek 5 halacha 7 at the end of the halacha that says like the Rif. See two opinions in Shulchan Aruch with Mishna Brura siman 199 sif 10. Eimek Bracha (page 60, birchas zimun) asks an interesting question according to Rabbeinu Tam.

Begin on 47b, at the two dots on the second middle size line. Learn until the third line from bottom, amar Rav Yochanan. See tosfos dh mitzvah. The gemara says that a katan can be mitztaref to a mezuman in certain cases. How can a katan that cannot talk (mutal bearisah) be part of a mezuman? Perhaps in the meiri on the previous gemara that we saw there is an answer to this question. The gemara says that one can free a slave and trangress an asay for a “mitzvah derabbim”. What is the mitzvah derabbim here in the gemara? See tosfos dh mitzvah and Rosh siman 20 beginning from tanu rabanan until a few lines later velays hilchasah that discusses this point. On tosfos dh mitzvah, see Mahrsha that asks a question on tosfos. See Tzlach dh tosfos dh mitzvah in the first paragraph that answers the question. On the gemara that one who is in the first ten of a minyan receives the same schar as all those who come later, why is this so? See Mahrsha dh leolam.

Begin on 47b, at the two dots on the second line, maaser sheini. Learn until the fifth wide line, veamar Rav Yehoshua. See tosfos dh amar Rav Huna. See Rosh siman 20 from the beginning of the piece until tanu Rabanan maaseh that discusses being mezaman with a am haaretz. See Meiri dh am haaretz gamur. See Shulchan Aruch siman 199 sif 3 with Mishna Brurah with Biur Halacha that discusses whether ine may be mezamen with someone that does aveiros.
