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.

We are beginning siman 5. The Chayei Adam summarizes the halachos we have learned thus far. When two items are birchoseihen shavos (the same bracha), and the rules of precedence apply, if neither is of the shivas haminim, the chaviv takes precedence. If one of them is shivas haminim, it takes precedence, even if it

We are continuing in siman 4. In the beginning of the siman, we learned the opinion of the Chayei Adam that when one has foods of two different brachos in front of them, they only follow the seder brachos above all other considerations, in order to make the brachos in their order of specificity. No

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

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
1118 Klal 57 Siman 2: Order of Brachos 3 – Defining Chashivus 2: Specificity We are continuing in siman 2. The Chayei Adam began the siman by stating that one of the indicators of chashivus is whether an item was of the shivas haminim. We explained that significance of chashivus in terms of the
