 Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

We learn that one is required to makes a bracha on barley flour – although it can be harmful – since he derives pleasure from it.  How does this concur with the earlier Gemara that we do not make a bracha on olive oil since it is harmful?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Gemara concludes that we are meant to conduct ourselves stringently regarding the two opinions of bein hashmashos (i.e. melacha on Motzei Shabbos can only commence after the conclusion of the later bein hashmashos).  Since bein hashmashos in itself is a period of uncertainty (safek day safek night) why is melacha not permitted during the later bein hasmashos  since it is a double safek (safek sfeika)  1) maybe this moment is already past the real bein hashmashos 2) maybe bein hashmashos in itself is really night; as we know a double safek in Torah is permitted?
