Major Question:

The גמרא דף מג concluded that Aravah was בנטילה – everyone waved the Aravos each day of Sukkos in the Beis Hamikdash and the זכר למקדש replicates the way it was performed in the Beis Hamikdash & on דף מד the aravos were taken when encircling the Mizbaich.

Why is our minhag to walk around the bima each day of Sukkos one time only with the set of Daled Minim and on Hoshana Rabbah seven times.  We should be holding aravos when circling the bima as they did in the Beis Hamikdash when circling the Mizbaich? 

But this seems incongruent with how  the Beis Hamikdash as on the practice  Especially since we conclude that Hoshanos we’re instituted זכר למקדש for the נטילה which was walking around the mizbaich?

Conclusion of Sugya: Amount of walls needed to create a Reshus Hayachid

Major Question on ר”ח and Rambam:

In the answer of the Gemara having three walls and a lechi is considered a Reshus Hayachid.  But according to Rava לחי is a היכר why is this Mavui considered a Reshus Hayachid?

Why does ר”ח say the tikun on the third side is a door? Why not a Tzuras hapesach?

Conclusion of Sugya: Amount of walls needed to create a Reshus Hayachid

The Gemara asks a question from the machlokes Rebbe Yehuda and the Rabanan in regards to two mechitzos on the two sides of a Reshus Harabim.

The Gemara concluded with the answer כאן במקדש כאן בגבולין 

Major Question:

The Gemara on מד says that the taking of Aravos on Hoshana Rabbah is זכר למקדש. 

But the gemara now says it was a either a יסוד and מנהג נביאים?

See רבינו חננאל (on side of the Gemara) for a different explanation than Rashi

Learn רמב״ם הלכות לולב פרק ז הלכה כא-כב and מגיד משנה

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14278&st=&pgnum=287

Major Question:

The Rambam says the mitzvah of Aravah we take on Hoshana Rabbah is both זכר למקדש and מנהג נביאים. 

How could it be both? 

What compelled the Rambam to give this explanation?

The Rambam seems to offer an entirely new reason than the גמרא מד as to why the mitzvah of Aravah is only one day זכר למקדש?

Learn ערוך לנר for an explanation for the Rambam

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14414&st=&pgnum=171

Can we offer a different explanation for the Rambam based on the conclusion of the Gemara of כאן במקדש כאן בגבולין?
