R' Gilad Field asked:
>I saw in "Sefer Eretz Yisrael" (by Harav Tukachinsky (spelling?)) that you
>should do nefilas apaim in Yerushayim even in a place with no sefer torah or
>even if it is not a makom kavuah for tefillah.
>Does anyone know if there are other opinions on this?
Aren't there always? :-)

>And what is the accepted minhag?
Everywhere I've davened in Yerushalayim this seems to be the accepted
minhag. Both in charedi and "regular" minyonim.

>And, how would we define the boundaries of Yerushalayim for this halacha?
Most of us Yerushalmim seem to use the Rosh Yeshiva - RSZA's -
definition; the municipal boundaries.
