Which kind of learning requires Birkot
HaTorah? Any kind of learning that I do?
What if I'm going to What if I want to
think about learning? What if I want
[music] to read a safer? What if I want
to listen to a shiur? What topics and
what types of learning require Birkot
HaTorah before I do that learning? The
Shulchan Aruch says, "Tzarich livarech
bein l'mikra, bein l'mishna, bein
l'gemara, bein l'midrash." [music]
Says you should, whether it's whether
it's actual psukim or it's mishna or
it's gemara or it's medrish, all of
these all of the above require Birkot
HaTorah before you before you study.

The Aruch HaShulchan, in his commentary
on the Shulchan Aruch,

upon the psukim. Maybe it's only things
that are connected to psukim, but but

totally esoteric different type of
learning, maybe it doesn't need." And he
goes back and forth, and [music] he

the line.
