Berachos 43

***************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 43a [line 32]:
"va'Amai, Ho'il v'Hu Natal Yadav Techilah ba'Acharonah"
The Vilna Ga'on and Maharshal erased these words. They are also not found
in Dikdukei Sofrim #40 and Beis Nasan, and are not brought in the Rif,
Rashba or Ritva

[2] Gemara 43a [line 54]:
The words "Bar Minei *d'Rebbi* Yehudah"
should be "Bar Minei *d'Rav* Yehudah"

[3] Gemara 43b [line 11]:
*l'Hisna'os* Bahen Benei Adam
This is the Girsa in most of the Rishonim. The Girsa in Dikdukei Sofrim is
"Leihanos". (According to Rashi they have the same meaning.)
************************************************

1) [line 13] KATADRA'OS - soft seats, chairs with a back

3) [line 32] D'IKA ADIF MINEI - there is a person who is more worthy than he [of saying the Berachah over the incense]

*4*) [line 33] MESAYEI'A LEI L'RAV - This Din supports Rav's Halachah. That is, we see here that the one who recited the first Berachah of the meal recites the other communal Berachos, also. Similarly, in Rav's Halachah, the one who washed his hands first [of the last five to wash Mayim Acharonim] recites the Birkas ha'Mazon (RITVA). This is also the intent of RASHI DH ha'Notel.

(b) the incense used in the Beis ha'Mikdash, which contains Levonah (frankincense) (TARGUM YONASAN BEN UZIEL);
