Description

Daf Yomi Berachot 20b-21a, the 'favoritism' of Hashem for Klal Yisrael because of Birkat HaMazon, the strong will of the Jew to fulfill the Mitzvot even when they are technically exempt; the new Mishna and תקנת עזרא; the status of הרהור and is it equivalent to דיבור?; would a Mitzvah דאורייתא trump the enactment of Ezra?; Does Rav Chisda advocate הרהור בקריאת שמע because of the Tzibbur?; Does Ravina assume that one can fulfill his Mitzva of Kriyat Shema with thought alone? Is Tefilla a מצוה דאורייתא?
