Today’s Daf Question:

The Gemara derives the requirement of ten men for a minyan from the word ‘eida’ mentioned regarding Korach which is further derived from the word ‘eida’ mentioned regarding the ten meraglim (Megilah 23a as quoted in the gilyon/margin here).  Is there perhaps any lesson to be learned from the fact that the Torah chose to derive this lofty concept of (reciting words of sanctity in a) minyan of ten – from the wicked meraglim?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Gemara says that Avraham established Shacharis, Yitzchak established Mincha etc. – but don’t we know that Avraham kept the entire Torah (Yoma 28b) which presumably would include all the tefillos as well?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Gemara states that Hachnasas Orchim is greater than Torah; but then we learn in the Mishna that Torah equals all the Mitzvos combined.  How can this be explained?
