We connect all the tools: read a Gemara passage, try independently, then Rashi. We work on the opening of Berakhot - the Tanna's question and the Gemara's response.
תנא היכא קאי דקתני מאימתי
Where does the Tanna stand, that he teaches "from when"?
The question: the mishnah asks "from when" as if the obligation is already known. Where is it from?
The first answer: "he stands on the verse" - the Tanna relies on "when you lie down and when you rise".
Rashi clarifies the words and completes the logic: the Tanna did not open with a time question out of nowhere - the obligation is already known from the verse, so one can ask "from when". The independent reading is confirmed and completed.
In the site reader, open Berakhot 2a, read up to "ve-iba'it eima" and summarise in three lines.
Gemara, attempt, Rashi - three steps that build an independent learner.
Test yourself before marking the lesson complete.
What does "Tanna heikha ka'i" ask?
