Mareh Mekomos:

Begin on the top of 46a, Rav Zeira, and learn until the two dots halfway down. See tosfos dh lo. What is the contradiction that tosfos is trying to answer? See Maharsha that explains. Another question, if Rav Avahu knew what Rav Yochanan held regarding that which the Baal Habayis should be botzeiah, why did he ask Rav Zeira to make the Hamotzei to begin with? See Rashba. See Rambam hilchos Brachos perek 2 halacha 7 that brings the halacha of birchas orech. Is there anything that one can be medayek in this Rambam regarding the birchas orech?

Mareh Mekomos

Begin on 45b, 8 lines from the bottom, ba umatzan. Learn the gemara with Rashi until the two dots halfway down 46a. See tosfos dh Rav Zvid on 45b and dh ha and dh lo on 46a. On the gemara that discusses one who comes and finds 3 people in the middle of a zimun, see tosfos dh Rav Zvid and Rosh siman 9 for the wording that one should say. See Mishna Brurah in siman 198 sif 1, especially sk 2 with Shaar Hatzion sk 2 that asks why is this different from one who answers borchu, that is permitted to answer even though he did not hear the chazan say borchu. On the gemara that discusses answering amen to ones own bracha, see carefully Rashi dh ha bebonay and tosfos dh ha. See Rambam hilchos Brachos perek 1 halacha 16, 17 and 18 that sets guidelines exactly when one is permitted to answer amen to ones own bracha. On the gemara of the birchas orach, see Rambam hilchos Brachos perek 2 halacha 7. Is there anything that one can be medayek from this Rambam concerning birchas orach?

Mareh Mekomos:

Begin on 45B, at the two dots amar Rava, on the sixth to last narrow line. Learn the gemara until the very end of the amud (until Rav Zeira on the top of 46a. See Rashi and tosfos dh Rav Zvid and dh ha. On the first gemara that discusses one being mafsik for two, see Rashi carefully in dh echad mafsik leshnayim. See Rabeinu Yonah (page 33a dh de’ayn) that says a different pshat in the gemara. See Rosh siman 7 that brings the machlokes Rashi and Rabeinu Yonah and Ravaad. Do Rabeinu Yonah and Ravaad argue? The Rosh adds an important detail in Rashi, see Ma’adanei Yom Tov on the bottom of the Rosh sk alef that brings a source to this from the gemara. Rambam hilchos Brachos perek 7 halacha 6 seems to have a third pshat, see Kesef Mishna there. See Divrei Chamudos on the Rosh sk 17 that brings Rashba that says what the Ravaad that is quoted in the Rosh says. The Rashba quoted there brings a big chidush from Rav Hai gaon. See Mishna Brura siman 200 sif 1 sk 5 that brings Bach and those who argue. See also Shar Hatzion there sk 7 and Biur Halacha dh ad.

Mareh Mekomos:

Begin on 45a, tistayim, 10 lines from the top. Learn until the two dots 6 lines before the end of the narrow lines. See Rashi. After learning the whole gemara, see the second half of tosfos dh shani, that discusses if one can be motzi a person with a bracha if the one listening doesn’t understand loshon hakodesh. See Shulchan Aruch siman 193 sif 1 that paskens like tosfos that one who doesn’t understand is not yotzei. See Mishna Brurah sk 5 that discusses how is a person yotzei listening to kidush if he doesn’t understand. See Biur Halacha dh aino yotzei that discusses if there are three people in a mezumen if one can be yotzei without understanding and brings from the Birchas Avrohom. Why should a mezumen be different? On the gemara about the third person who left that he can answer from a distance, see Rambam hilchos brachos perek 5 halacha 13. According to the Rambam, can one be yotzei bentsching that way? See Meiri here dh shlosha sheachlu that brings a machlokes about this. See Shulchan Aruch siman 194 sif 2 with Mishna Brura sk 8 that brings Rambam.
