Description

This shiur discusses the sugya of which direction to face when we daven. Specifically, there is a major question about what to do when the Aron Kodesh is not positioned in the direction of Israel. The answer to this question might in fact be a machlokes between the Chafetz Chaim and Rav Soloveitchik. The shiur describes the concept of finding Hashem both through Israel and Talmud Torah. This shiur was given in the context of Yom Yerushalayim, Shavuos, and Parshas Bamidbar.
