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 continuing in siman 8 and have a few points to clarify. We have learned that Chazal understand oats and rye to be subtypes of barley, and spelt to be a subtype of wheat. Therefore, we learned (shiur 1127) that an item made from spelt precedes an item made from rye or oats. We

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
