We are beginning siman 10. If one moves from room to room while eating, the Chayei Adam writes that one would need a new bracha in the new makom. He explains that we look at every bite by itself, so subsequent bites consumed in the new makom are not covered by the first bracha made […]

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
We are continuing in siman 8. The Chayei Adam is discussing the halachos of hesech hadaas and how they relate to shinui makom. We have learned that the active decision on the part of the eater to end an eating session creates a hesech hadaas. Even if the decision was based on mistaken information, if

We are beginning siman 7. The Chayei Adam connects between the halachos of shinui makom and hesech hadaas. A hesech hadaas is a decision made on the part of a person to stop eating. By doing so, they have ended their eating session, and, in many cases, require a new bracha should they wish to

We are beginning siman 6. The Chayei Adam introduces another consideration which would mitigate the concern of shinui makom, known as ro’eh mekomo. If one can still see the original place in which they began, they do not need a new bracha rishona. Thus, for example, in the case discussed yesterday of leaving one’s apartment

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,

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.

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,

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

We are beginning the halachos of shinui makom. We will begin with an introduction. There are two separate ideas related to these halachos. The first relates to bracha achrona. When a person finishes a meal, they should not leave the place in which they ate until they make a bracha achrona. This halacha is due

We are beginning siman 8. The Chayei Adam discusses a situation in which a person makes a bracha believing that they are making the correct bracha on the item they are holding, but then realizes they made the wrong bracha for that item. However, there are items in front of them which are of the

We are continuing in siman 7. We left off in the previous shiur discussing one who had intent to recite al hamichya, and only realized they must recite birkas hamazon after saying baruch atah Hashem. We learned that such a case is a safeik, and generally we apply the rule that regarding a bracha derabanan,

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

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

We are beginning siman 4. If one recites haadama on a haeitz food, they are yotzei bedieved, but if one recites haeitz on a haadama food, they are not yotzei at all. One is not yotzei with haadama on a haeitz food because it is a sheker to state that the item in question grew

We are beginning siman 3. The Chayei Adam writes that if one recites mezonos on any food, they are yotzei bedieved. He explains that all foods fall under the category of mazon, sustenance, with the exception of water and salt, because all other foods provide nutrients to a person. The Gemara already teaches us that

We are beginning siman 9. The Chayei Adam writes that the advantage of shivas haminim only applies when the fruits are fully ripe, because the Torah’s praise of Eretz Yisroel through these fruits applies specifically when they are fully grown. The Chayei Adam writes of an example prevalent to his time in which pickled olives
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,

We are beginning siman 6. In siman 6, 7 and 9, the Chayei Adam works with an assumption which impacts the halachos of these simanim. We will learn that the Mishnah Berurah argues on this assumption. The Magen Avraham grapples with the idea that, on the one hand, we have a concept that the closer

We are continuing siman 5. The Chayei Adam discusses a unique scenario of seder brachos between haeitz and haadama. The Chayei Adam discusses a case of one who has two foods, one which is haeitz and one which is haadama, where the haeitz is generally the chaviv, but at the moment the haadama is chaviv.
