Brachos Torah Trivia

Dov Ber the diabetic couldn't control himself when he saw the chocolate danish.

He decided to eat it.

The Rov tells him to make a Brocho Rishono but he shouldn't make a Brocho Achrono.

1)  Brocho Achrono needs a shiur .(minimum amount must be eaten)

2) Brocho Rishono has no shiur.(no minimum food need to be eaten)

3) You don't make a Brocho on food that is harmful.

When he bites into the first Mashehu (minimum piece), it is not yet

harmful (too small) , he is mechuyav in a brocho rishono.

After eating a shiur, it is harmful, therefore no Brocho Achrono.
