1149 Klal 59 Siman 10-11: Shinui Makom 13 – Walking While Eating 2; Traveling 1

We are continuing in siman 10, and need to correct and clarify a point from yesterday. We learned that, according to the Chayei Adam, if one has daas to move from room to room within a house at the time they made their bracha, there is no issue of shinui makom. According to the Mishnah

1147 Klal 59 Siman 9: Shinui Makom 11 – Moving Between the Bracha and the Achila 2; Moving Between Kiddush and the Seuda

 We are continuing in siman 9. We discussed a situation in which one made a bracha and created a shinui makom before they ate. We discussed how this halacha applies to sukkos and to a sauna, and today we will learn how it applies to kiddush.  The poskim discuss whether there is an issue of

1146 Klal 59 Siman 9: Shinui Makom 10 – Moving Between the Bracha and the Achila 1

We are beginning siman 9. We are discussing the halachos of shinui makom, and until now, the Chayei Adam has discussed situations in which one changed his makon after already beginning to eat. The Chayei Adam will now discuss changing one’s makom between the bracha and eating.  The Chayei Adam writes that if one makes

1141 Klal 59 Siman 4: Shinui Makom 5 – From Room to Room and Corner to Corner

We are beginning siman 4. The Chayei Adam will define a makom, “place” as it applies to our halachos.  The Chayei Adam writes that leaving a room, whether going from one floor to another or even on the same floor, is considered a shinui makom. It goes without saying that going outside to the yard,

1140 Klal 59 Siman 3: Shinui Makom 4 – Leaving and Returning to a Group

We are beginning siman 3. We have learned about different situations in which one can extend their eating session and avoid needing to make a new bracha rishona. The Chayei Adam writes of another such situation.  The Chayei Adam write that differentiations we made between borei nefashos versus al hamichya and birkas hamazon apply when

1139 Klal 59 Siman 2: Shinui Makom 3 – The End of the Eating Session

We are beginning siman 2. The Chayei Adam extends the concept we learned in siman 1, that a person is not obligated to return to their original place to recite a borei nefashos, but is obligated to recite birkas hamazon and al hamichya.   The Chayei Adam writes that, regarding foods which require a borei nefashos,

1138 Klal 59 Siman 1: Shinui Makom 2 – If One Left Before the Bracha Achrona

We are continuing in siman 1. The Chayei Adam began the siman by writing that lechatchilla, one should never leave the place in which they ate without first reciting the appropriate bracha achrona (besides to perform a mitzvah), in order to avoid forgetting to recite it.  However, if one does leave their first place, the

1134 Klal 58 Siman 6-7: Mistakes in Brachos 5 – Kavanah 2

We are continuing in siman 6. We learned yesterday that the Gemara discusses a situation in which a person begins a bracha incorrectly and realizes their mistake. The Gemara discusses whether we follow the person’s original bracha or their corrected version. The Gemara does not resolve the question.   We learned that Rashi understands the

1133 Klal 58 Siman 6: Mistakes in Brachos 4 – Kavanah 1

We are beginning siman 6. The Gemara discusses a situation in which a person begins a bracha incorrectly and realizes their mistake. The Gemara discusses whether we follow the person’s original bracha or their corrected version.   The Rif understands the case of the Gemara as where the person finished their incorrect bracha, and then
