[Avodah] The Dynamic of Post-Talmudic Brachos

[rabbirichwolpoe at gmail.com]

R Zev Sero:
> If you're collecting post-talmudic brochos, here's another one:

And even the Ro"Sh himself - who as per Ta"Z apparently decries adding
brachos after "siddur Rav Ashi" - adds "al n'qiyyus yadayim" when one
has no water. And this is pasqened by the Tur

The AhS O"H laments that we should pasqen like the Rashba and NOT change
the nusach habrachah away from "al netilas yadayyim" BUT "what can I do
when the Ro"Sh and the Tur.."

Here is a rule that never may be broken ;-)
"Ein l'meiden min haklallos". [If the irony goes over your head read it
again!]. ;-)

Or as Rabbi Kanarfogel wrote about the Ri Migash that they don't always
follow their own "programmatic statements"

[Context: The Ri MiGash told rabbis to use 2ndary sources and to not
pasqen directly from Shas - a rule he himself ignored.]

Re: Rice
As per S"iddur Rav Ashi"

1 what's the brachah acharonah after rice?
2. What brachah acharonah do we say?
3 what is the source for Number 2?
4 what's the authority for #3?  EG Minhag?

Similarly  we may also ask
5 what's the earliest source for lechem Mishnah on YT? [On Shabbos it
  is in Shas, but not for YT]


+++++++++++++++

I will probably Blog the following questions:

What are the earliest sources limitting -
A Amoraim from disputing tannaim [not necessary mishnayos but even
  Braissos!]. First generation [or so] Amoraim [unwittingly?] dispute
  Braissos a lot and get tiyuvta's
B Adding brachos after Shas.  It's a nice rule.  Who made it up?  When?
C passing g'zeiros after Shas - who was the first to say "no no"!
