Berakhot 8

It is best to pray at the time that the community is praying. Why is that? What type of things is it important to pray for? Is it better to pray in a synogogue or a place where one learns? Why? Is it best to live near one's rabbi or not? One should read the prasha twice and once with a translation before it is read in the synogogue. Is it ok to do a number of weeks at once? The gemara mentions things that rabbis taught there children regarding behaviors that one should be careful about - including some they learned from people of other nations. One should be careful not to sit on a bed of an Armean women - three interpretations are brought regarding the meaning of this. One explanantion includes a story of Rav Papa that was almost framed for killing a baby but was saved because he checked first under the bed and found the dead baby.
