8) [line 14] EINO MEISAV - he may not recline on a couch or sit at a table
9) [line 15] EIN MEVARECH - he may not say Birkas ha'Motzi or Birkas
ha'Mazon for someone else
10) [line 15] EIN MEZAMEN (ZIMUN)
(a) When three or more Jewish males eat together at a meal that contains
bread, they are required to recite the Zimun, which is an invitation to
those present to get ready to bless HaSh-m for the food He provided. The
Zimun precedes Birkas ha'Mazon, and is in responsive form. When ten or more
men eat together, the Zimun is slightly changed, adding a name of HaSh-m
explicitly. An Onen is neither allowed to lead a Zimun nor participate in
it.
(b) Birkas ha'Zimun (the correct Girsa in Rebbi Zeira's statement in
Berachos 45b, see Background to Berachos 45, Girsa section #1) is the name
of this introduction to Birkas ha'Mazon, according to most Rishonim. Rashi
to Berachos 46a DH deka'Savar, however, according to one Amora in the
Gemara, explains that Birkas ha'Zimun refers to the introduction *plus* the
first Berachah of Birkas ha'Mazon (Birkas ha'Zan).
11) [line 18] TEFILIN - (REBBI AKIVA EIGER points out that this word does
not appear when this Beraisa is cited in other sources.)
