Description

Delivered as part of the regular Friday iyun shiur at Yeshiva University Torah MiTzion Beit Midrash Zichron Dov. This shiur gives a short introduction to the concept of Panim Chadashot, followed by a discussion of how many new people must attend a meal to allow for recitation of the sheva berachot. The shiur then shifted to focus on the meaning of Rashi's comments relating to Panim Chadashot, with ramifications for defining who is "new", how many may be necessary, or for other purposes.
