Berachos 37
***************GIRSA SECTION********************
We recommend using the textual changes suggested by the Bach, Rav B. Rensburg
and the parenthetical marginal notes of the Vilna Shas. This section is
devoted to any *OTHER* changes that we feel ought to be made in Gemara,
Rashi or Tosfos.)
[1] Gemara 37a [line 19]:
"v'Chesronan Al Kol Mah *she'Bara*"
There are those who are Gores
"v'Chesronan Al Kol Mah *she'Barasa*"
This is the Girsa in Eruvin 14b, in Dikdukei Sofrim on our Daf,
and in a number of Rishonim. See also Mar'eh Kohen
[2] Tosfos 37b DH Amar Rava:
the words: "Nir'eh *d'Hainu* kshe'Nosenim"
should be: "Nir'eh kshe'Nosenim"
The word d'Hainu is unnecessary, and does not appear in Hagahos Ashri

4) [line 24] CHIMUTZO
The Torah prohibits eating Chametz (anything that contains some form of
leavened dough) during the Holiday of Pesach, as it states in Shmos 12:15.
A person who eats Chametz on Pesach is punished with Kares. Rabanan are of
the opinion that Chametz only comes from the dough of the five species of
grain (wheat, barley, oats, rye and spelt), while Rebbi Yochanan ben Nuri
holds that even Orez (see above #1a) becomes Chametz.
5) [line 25] YEDEI CHOVASO BA'PESACH
The Torah requires that Matzos be eaten on Pesach, as it states in Shmos
12:15. The Torah obligation is to eat at least a k'Zayis of Matzah on the
night of the 15th of Nisan. Matzos may be made from any grain that a person
will be liable to the Kares punishment, should he eat Chametz made from it
(see above #4).
