Check Out DafNotes

I said a while ago that I would give DafNotes a mention. It is a very nice daf yomi blog -- well informed, with interesting points, and discussions of points raised by Rishonim and Acharonim on points relevant to the daf. It is not really my style of learning, and occasionally gets homiletical, yet it is a good blog to keep in mind.

I commented on their most recent post, about displaying joy on Rosh haShana -- it is problematic to be sad, and seems to be an obligation to be happy on Rosh haShana. (My comment was on the difficulty of posing alternative responses of Rav Ashi in what was, in the end, an actual event.) Check out dafnotes, and the specific post, here.
