Rabbi Gershon West: Tuesday Night Shiur Mareh Mekomos for 10/27/2014 to 10/28/2014

Begin on 46b at the two dots 19 lines down, amar lay Reish Gelusah. Learn until the bottom line of the amud, tanu rabanan. See tosfos dh bzman. Regarding the gemara that says that when there are five people left the mevareich washes mayim achronim, why specifically five? See Rashba dh bzman that says two reasons. See also Pnei Yehoshua on this. See Rambam hilchos brachos perek 7 halacha 1 that brings the gemara of the three people reclining at the meal and what is the proper seating arrangement for them. See also Lechem Mishna there.
