1127 Klal 57 Siman 8: Order of Brachos 12 – Items Which Have Two Brachos 7

We are continuing siman 8. The Chayei Adam makes a final list of the considerations to take into account when determining the correct order for reciting brachos between two items. There are some differences between his order and that of the Mishnah Berurah; since we ultimately pasken in accordance with the Mishnah Berurah, we will […]

1126 Klal 57 Siman 7-8: Order of Brachos 11 – Items Which Have Two Brachos 6

We are beginning siman 7. We learned that the Chayei Adam understands that when two items are of the shivas haminim, their order in the pasuk will indicate the order of their brachos, regardless of all other considerations. Based on this thought process, we learned that the Chayei Adam holds that olives would precede barley,

1123 Klal 57 Siman 5: Order of Brachos 8- Items Which Have Two Brachos 3

1121 Klal 57 Siman 4: Order of Brachos 6 – Items Which Have Two Brachos 1

We are beginning siman 4. Many people grow up under the impression that the proper order in which to recite brachos includes making haeitz before haadama. However, many poskim assume that the specificity of haeitz and haadama are the same, and there is no order to them. In Siman 211, the Shulchan Aruch presents two

1119 Chaye Adam –  Klal 57 Siman 2: Order of Brachos 4 – Defining Chashivus 3: Order of the Seven Species

We are continuing siman 2. The Chayei Adam identified three indicators for determining chashivus for seder brachos. These were: whether the item was of the shivas haminim; the specificity of the bracha; the order of the shivas haminim themselves as determined from the pasuk. Today we will discuss the third indicator. The Chayei Adam writes
