Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Gemara teaches that one who cannot discern the direction of Eretz Yisroel, should direct his heart to ‘His Father in heaven’ as it says in the passuk ‘they shall daven to Hashem’.  In the Mishna however it said that in such a circumstance one should ‘direct his heart to the Kodesh Hakadashim’ – is there any contradiction?

 Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

We learn that one is required to makes a bracha on barley flour – although it can be harmful – since he derives pleasure from it.  How does this concur with the earlier Gemara that we do not make a bracha on olive oil since it is harmful?

Today’s Daf Yomi Question:

The Gemara concludes that a privately owned courtyard which is used as a public walk-through is considered a Reshus Harabim (see Tosfos D”H Yehoshua).  How can this be derived from the Midbar which featured only a publicly owned Reshus Harabim?
