What is the reason children recognize bread but not wine for purposes of the educational requirement (lo yishkach)?
Synopsis
The Gemara requires eruv chatzerot alongside shituf mavoy so children do not forget the laws of eruv. The Mechaber specifies that children can recognize bread because it is the food of life, but not what happens in the mavoy. The Gra and Rambam explain the underlying reasoning differently.
