[Avodah] The Dynamic of Post-Talmudic Brachos

[rabbirichwolpoe at gmail.com]

See RIF on the brachah acharonah on Rice! Where his qayma lan trumps
a specific statement in Bavli]

I haven't finish Shas but I found nothing in Shas that limits ADDING
brachos! And even more - EG Ashkenaz altered Ligmor es Hahallel to Liqro.

I would prefer to see a map of the territory that is true to reality,
and not true to supposed "rules".

Plus with the Halachic impact of Zohar and Arizal, we see that Rav Ashi
was NOT the last word in Halachah [although he did and an era]

Micha:
> Which is why I am afraid of relying on analogies. Heqesh and g"sh require

What about Binyan Av? Tzad Hashavah?
Why not fundamentally refuse to see electricity as "fire"?
Or how about the Rosh applying purchasing s'forim as a qiyyum of mitzvas
k'sivas Sefer Torah?
Analogies are a big part of the fabric of shas and posqim.

Some want to eliminate "b'rachamav" in Boneh Yerushalayim in bensching

If we are THAT strict-constructionist then I ask:
How can we equate BINYAN and PIDYON! How is this passuq at all analogous
here?!

> Rav Yochanan

I this refers to Brother-in-law of Reish Laqish then it's
Rabbi Yochanan!

Which kinda "begs" the question:

How did the Bavli - laden with non-s'muchin - become normative over the
Y-lmi which overwhelmingly had s'muchin!
