Yehoash Orange asked:
IN Brochos 57b, the Gemara lists five items which are 60ths- fire, honey, shabbos, sleep, and dreams. On daf 40a, the Gemara says that Katsach (black seed) is 1/60th of poison. Why wasn't this included in the list above?

The Kollel replies:
Dear Yehoash,
The Gemara in Berachos 40a reads: Ketzach is one of the 60 types of poison (not 1/60 as in Berachos 57)
All the best.
