and not

<<a kind of

<<grain

<<is it,

<<or

<<a kind of

<<grain

<<and not

<<did he make it

<<into bread —

<<Rabban Gamliel

<<says

<<three

<<blessings,

<<and the Sages

<<say

<<one blessing.

<<Anything

<<that is not

<<either

<<of the seven

<<species

<<nor

<<a kind of

<<grain,

<<such as

<<bread of

<<rice

<<and millet —

<<Rabban Gamliel

<<says

<<one blessing

<<resembling

<<the three,

<<and the Sages

<<say:

<<not

<<anything at all.

In what

<<did you establish it?

<<Like Rabban Gamliel?

<<Say

<<the latter clause

<<of the first part:

<<If

<<not

<<do the pieces

<<remain intact,

<<at the beginning

<<he blesses

<<over it

<<“Who creates

<<kinds of

<<foods,”

<<and at the end

<<he blesses

<<over it

<<one blessing

<<resembling

<<the three.

<<Whose is it?

<<If

<<Rabban Gamliel —

<<now,

<<over dates

<<and over daysa

<<Rabban Gamliel said

<<three

<<blessings;

<<if

<<not

<<do the pieces

<<remain intact,

<<is it necessary [to say]?!

Rather,

<<obviously

<<the Rabbis.

<<If so,

<<it is difficult:

<<the Rabbis

<<against the Rabbis!

<<Rather,

<<actually

<<the Rabbis,

<<and teach

<<regarding

<<rice:

<<“And at the end

<<he does not

<<bless

<<over it

<<anything at all.”

Rava said:

<<This

<<riheta

<<of the farmers,

<<in which they put much

<<into it

<<flour —

<<he blesses

<<“Who creates

<<kinds of

<<foods.”

<<What is the reason?

<<Because the semolina

<<is the main thing.

<<That of Mechoza,

<<in which not

<<do they put much

<<into it

<<flour —

<<he blesses

<<over it

<<“that all

<<came to be

<<by His word.”

<<What is the reason?

<<The honey

<<is the main thing.

<<And then

<<Rava said:

<<This

<<and that —

<<“Who creates

<<kinds of

<<foods,”

<<for Rav

<<and Shmuel

<<say,

<<both of them:

<<Anything

<<that there is

<<in it

<<of the five

<<species —

<<they bless

<<over it

<<“Who creates

<<kinds of

<<foods.”

Rav Yosef said:

<<This

<<chavitza

<<that has

<<in it

<<crumbs

<<the size of an olive —

<<at the beginning

<<he blesses

<<over it

<<“Who brings forth

<<bread

<<from

<<the earth,”

<<and at the end

<<he blesses

<<over it

<<three

<<blessings.

<<That which does not have

<<in it

<<crumbs

<<the size of an olive —

<<at the beginning

<<he blesses

<<over it

<<“Who creates

<<kinds of

<<foods,”

<<and at the end

<<one blessing

<<resembling

<<the three.

Rav Yosef said:

<<From where

<<do I say

<<it?

<<As it is taught:

<<If he was

<<standing

<<and offering

<<meal-offerings

<<in Jerusalem,

<<he says:

<<“Blessed [is He]

<<Who has kept us alive,

<<and sustained us,

<<and brought us

<<to this time.”

<<If he took them

<<to eat them,

<<he blesses

<<“Who brings forth

<<bread

<<from

<<the earth.”

<<And it was taught

<<on it:

<<And all of them —

<<he crumbles them

<<into olive-sized pieces.

Abaye said to him:

<<But rather,

<<from now:

<<for the tanna

<<of the school of

<<Rabbi Yishmael,

<<who says

<<he crushes them

<<until

<<he returns them

<<to their flour,

<<so

<<too

<<that not

<<does he need

<<to bless

<<“Who brings forth

<<bread

<<from

<<the earth”?!

<<And if you say

<<so

<<indeed,

<<but is it not taught:

<<If he gathered

<<from all of them

<<an olive's bulk

<<and ate them:

<<if

<<leavened

<<it is,

<<he is punished with

<<kares;

<<and if

<<matzah

<<it is,

<<a person

<<fulfills

<<with it

<<his obligation

<<on Pesach.

Here

<<with what

<<are we dealing?

<<Where he kneaded them together.

<<If so,

<<say

<<the latter clause:

<<“Provided

<<that he ate them

<<within the time

<<of eating

<<a peras.”

<<And if

<<where he kneaded them together,

<<this

<<“that he ate them” —

<<“that he ate it”

<<it should have said!

Rather,

<<here

<<with what

<<are we dealing?

<<With [crumbs] that come

<<from a loaf

<<that was large.

What

<<was [concluded]

<<about it?

<<Rav Sheshes said:

<<This

<<chavitza,

<<even though

<<there are not

<<in it

<<crumbs

<<the size of an olive —

<<he blesses

<<over it

<<“Who brings forth

<<bread

<<from

<<the earth.”

<<Rava said:

<<Provided

<<that there is

<<on it

<<the appearance

<<of bread.

Troknin

<<are obligated

<<in challah.

<<And when

<<came

<<Ravin,

<<he said in the name of

<<Rabbi Yochanan:

<<Troknin

<<are exempt

<<from

<<challah.

<<What are

<<troknin?

<<Abaye said:

<<A hollow

<<in the ground.

And Abaye said:

<<Terisa

<<is exempt

<<from

<<challah.

<<What is

<<terisa?

<<Some say:

<<dough

<<scalded;

<<and some say:

<<bread

<<of India;

<<and some say:

<<bread

<<made

<<for kutach.

Taught

<<Rabbi Chiya:

<<Bread

<<made

<<for kutach

<<is exempt

<<from

<<challah.

<<But is it not

<<taught:

<<it is obligated

<<in challah!

<<There,

<<as it teaches

<<the reason:

<<Rabbi Yehuda

<<says:

<<Its making

<<proves

<<about it.

<<If he made them
