Review the “גמרא דף יב: “איתביה יתר על כן (middle of the Amud)  until “אמר רב יהודה” 

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. 

What is the question and the answer of the Gemara?

See Rashi 

Questions on Rashi:

How could Rashi say the Rabanan agree to Rebbe Yehuda that only need a lechi or korah on each side? The Gemara on Daf 6a said the rabanan require a tzuras hapesach on one side and a lechi or korah on the other?

If Rebbe Yehuda holds two mechitzos create a Reshus Hayachid where is there a case of a סרטיא or פלטיא that is considered a Reshus Harabim (listed in גמרא שבת דף ו) as their roads had walls on the side of them?

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?

According to Rashi the נביאים set up the taking of Aravos outside the Beis Hamikdash. 

Was this for all seven days of Sukkos or just the last day – Hoshana Rabbah? 

Major Question:
