פירוש על ברכות 74:17

M. adds : which is an abstract of three.

In the Baraita above, it is stated "if a kind of corn it has not been made into bread" as, e.g., pounded grain.

Since they were originally bread.

According to them pounded grain only requires one benediction, and similarly boiled bread which is no longer in pieces.

The Rabbis declare above that after "for instance, bread of rice or millet" no benediction is necessary, and here they are made to hold the opinion that one benediction, the abstract of three, is required.

I.e. in the quoted Baraita, the reading should be "no benediction is required" not "one benediction which is an abstract of three."

A dish resembling the Habis, consisting of honey, flour and oil. See T. A.J. p. 107.

That pieces of bread, the size of an olive, require the benediction "...Who bringest forth bread from the earth."

A non-priest.

The priest.

Cf. Lev. ii. 6.

Since there are no pieces the size of an olive.

I.e. the benediction is unnecessary.

According to Rashi this refers to the cmmbs of the meal-offering. But Tosafot object that this cannot be, because it continaes "should it be leaven"; and the meal-offering must be unleaven. Consequently it is taken to refer to crumbs of different species, each in itself not the size of an olive.

By eating them on Passover.

When it is his duty to eat unleaven. Consequently these crumbs are together considered to be equivalent to a piece of the size of an olive, otherwise he would not be violating the Passover if they were leaven, or fulfil the law of the Passover if unleaven.

Therefore we cannot argue from this Baraita to the case under consideration.

I.e. a piece of bread the size of four eggs. The meaning is, he must not spread the eating of the crumbs over a long space of time ; the maximum being the time required to eat half a roll.

Lit. large; i.e. a loaf which has not been entirely reduced to crumbs, but only a part of it. If, then, he eats of these crumbs and they are not the size of an olive, he is not required to say the benediction "...Who bringest forth bread from the earth."

טרוקנין which Jastrow considers a corruption of טרקטה, the Latin tracta, "a long piece of dough pulled out in making pastry." So Krauss, p. 274.
