* Rashi (37a s.v. VeLo Klum) explains that the Gemara means that there’s no Bracha Mein Shalosh which is for Shivat HaMinim but rather there still is [[Boreh Nefashot]]. This is agreed upon by many Rishonim including the Rif ([[Brachot]] 26a), Rosh ([[Brachot]] 6:8) and Rambam ([[Brachot]] 3:10). The Tur and S”A 208:7 codify this as halacha that the Bracha on Orez is [[Mezonot]] and the [[Bracha Achrona]] is [[Boreh Nefashot]]. | * Rashi (37a s.v.

* [Why is rice [[Boreh Nefashot]]? The Rosh ([[Brachot]] 6:8) explains that the reason rice is [[Mezonot]] is because it provides sustenance like a grain but is [[Boreh Nefashot]] because it’s not one of the Shivat HaMinim. Interestingly, the Mishna Brurah 208:29 writes that rice is [[Boreh Nefashot]] because only the five grains receive [[Al HaMichya]] because of their significance. ] | * [Why is rice [[Boreh Nefashot]]?

* What is orez? Rashi ([[Brachot]] 37a s.v. orez) defines orez as millet and Tosfot s.v. Orez defines Orez as rice. Bet Yosef 208:7 rules like Tosfot's definition of Orez. The Mishna Brurah 208:25 writes that because of the dispute some say (Taz) that one should only eat it in a meal or make [[Shehakol]]. However, he concludes that many achronim (Lechem Chamudot, Birkei Yosef, Mateh Yehuda, Maaseh Rav of the Gra) agree with Tosfot. Moreover, in Shaar HaTziyun 208:31 he adds that there’s several other reasons why there’s what to rely on to make [[mezonot]] on rice. This is also the opinion of Laws of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Forst, pg 359-384) and the Halachos of [[Brachos]] (Rabbi Bodner, addendum 4, pg 517). | * What is orez?

* Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liady ([[Seder]] Birkas Hanehnin 1:10) rules that the brocho on rice, when eaten alone is [[Shehakol]]. He writes, however, that one that is G-d fearing should only eat rice within a meal. | |||

# Raw or roasted rice is HaAdama. <Ref>Gemara [[Brachot]] 37a writes that raw rice is HaAdama. This is brought as halacha by the Rif ([[Brachot]] 25a) and Rosh ([[Brachot]] 6:8). The Tur and S”A 208:7 codify this as halacha. Vezot HaBracha (pg 106, chapter 12) adds that the same is true of roasted rice. </ref> | # Raw or roasted rice is HaAdama. <Ref>Gemara [[Brachot]] 37a writes that raw rice is HaAdama.

# Rice cakes are made by steaming rice kernels until they pop. However, this is not considered [[cooking]] and therefore Rice cakes according to many are Ha’adoma. <Ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 106, chapter 12) in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman and Rav Pinchas Sheinburg, Or Letzion 14:21 rules similarly. </ref> However, because the kernels of rice stick together, some consider Rice cakes to be [[Mezonot]]. <Ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 106, chapter 12) and Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 520, Addendum 4) in name of Rav Elayshiv write that since the rice kernels stick together the Bracha is [[Mezonot]]. However, Brachat HaNehenin (pg 191) writes that Rav Elyashiv didn’t finalize this ruling. </ref> In conclusion, one should make HaAdama which will satisfy both opinions. <Ref>Vezot HaBracha (pg 106, chapter 12) in name of Rav Moshe Shternbach and Veten Bracha (Halachos of Brochos by Rabbi Bodner pg 520, Addendum 4) write that in conclusion one should make a HaAdama.
