Title The Definition Of A Shiur Kezayis
Summary Rabbi Walker Shlit"a today attempted to provide the definition of a Kezayis. OK, so you thought Kezayis means 'the size of an olive' - but which olive? Surely olives come in various sizes and types? The source of this issue goes back to a Gemara in Brochos where Reb Yochanon was seen to have made a Brocha Achrona on a salted olive - but this was less than a Kezayis as it was pitted...! Listen to the unique opinion of the Noida Bi'yehuda, along with an interesting Rambam with regard to the shiur of a Reviis of water.
