What does Talmud Bavli Masechet Brachot say about ברכות from the Torah
Rav Yehuda says the source for ברכת המזון from the Torah is ואכלת ושבעת וברכת, eat be satisfied and be full and then must bless. Where is the blessing for blessing before learning Torah, parshat Hazeinu ״כי שם ה״ אקרא הבו גדול לאלוקינו״, when saying Hashem’s name I must give greatness to our G-d (bless Hashem)
Op of Ramban about why must bless Hashem when learning Torah
We are commanded to thank Hashem every single time we learn Torah for the great goodness that Hashem gave bc the Torah is literally a guide book in how to live meaningful lives and get into Olam Habah
Why does Rashi say אהבה רבה covers you
it has the basics of ב’ת, to give in our hearts, to learn, to fulfill, guard, do Torah, teach the words of Torah, and keep the Miztvot, so the themes are basically the same
why does R Hamnunah say about the third bracha and Rashi explain why
R Hamnunah said it’s the best of the Brachot and Rashi explains because it has ty to Hashem and praise for Torah and Israel

What does the Pasuk in eikev say and midrash interpreting and this implies what..
to serve hashem with all our heart which means davening, this implies that the Miztvah of Tfilah is from the Torah
what does the Gemara in Brachot teach us
if you’re not sure if u said Shema you should go back and say it bc its De’oreita but when it comes to Shmone Esrei, don’t need to go back bc its d’Rabanan. (R Yochanan said if u doubt anything just say it again)
whats the principle for how to act if ur not sure if u did smth or not
ספק דאורייתא לחומרא )be stritct
ספק דרבנן לקולא (lenient)
Rambam’s op on Mitzvah of T’fillah
the act of davening T’fillah if d’oreita but the times, text, frequency is from rhe Rabbis
Ramban’s op on Tfillah
doesn’t think its from Torah -> doesn’t agree with rambam, The rabbis said in Brachot, but its act the biggest act of kindness Hashem does for BI so would be crazy not to use it haha
how does Ramban “discard” Rabam’s sources
אסמכתא, a cute little pointer to smth in the Torah, it could mean Tfillah
Tfillah beit tsarah is when u r act commanded to daven
Rav Soliveitchik on Ramban/m disagreeing
they’re act both agree abt davening is command during time of distress, just what is considered time of distress, everyday life or world wide problems
overview of Tosphot
im yerushalmi it says your Yotzei if said AR only if you learn directly after, but it was asked to R Yitzchak, if we don’t learn till middle of the day why dont we say bracha again, the Ri says bc our Talmud doesn’t say anything abt it, therefore we don’t need to learn right after AR. also it’s only for AR that one needs to learn right after bc the intention was for Shema not BH, why is this any different then leishev bsukkah, those are specific time, torah is all day, we don’t say blessing on sleeping in Sukkah bc some say its covered from eating bracha and some say bc you cant control when sleep it could be lavatala
Rabeinu tam says that if someone wakes up in mid of night to learn they don’t need to say Bracha bc bracha from previous shacrit covers and this is not correct. The french have a practice to learn a little mishnah and gemara based off gmara yerushalmi but its not neccesary as stated earlier
