[Avodah] Which way to Jerusalem?

[Jonathan Dickson]

Simon Montagu's query about which way to face when davening is, of course, relevant wherever in the world you are - there will always be at least some divergence (and it could be quite significant) in which way to face depending on whether you use a rhumb line or great circle path to calculate where Yerushalayim is.
