Rabbi Baruch Bodenheim: Gemara Brachos: Keitzad Mevarchin. Starting today יום שני, Cheshvan 8 (10/19/26)
Good morning,
Mazel Tov to the chabura on the major accomplishment of learning the entire Perek Kirah – one of the most complex perakim in Shas.
We are starting Gemara Brachos – Perek Keitzad Mevarchim today.
Introduction to Brachos
Learn רמב”ם ה’ ברכות פרק א:א-ד

The first Amud is intricate. I advise each person to learn this Amud a minimum of five times in order to follow the flow.
Learn משנה דף לה and גמרא until the bottom of the Amud.
Questions:
What is the source for ברכה ראשונה ?
Do we learn ברכה אחרונה from קודש הילולים?
Learn רש'”י “קדש and ריטב”א “דתנו רבנן
