Barry Epstein asked:

The Gemara speaks of pyres in the courtyard. Where was the pyre placed?

Barry Epstein, Dallas, USA

The Kollel replies:

Rashi (DH "Marachah") says that this would be on the floor of the Azarah. However, the Rambam (Isurei Mizbe'ach 6:5) states that the fire was on the Mizbe'ach.

Take Care,

moshe comments:

A Yasher Koach. In Medrash Raba Shemos P-3 Siman 17 is mentioned, R, Shimon Ben R' Yossi

The Kollel replies:

I guess that would be Rebbi Shimon b'Rebbi Yossi ben Lekunya, who was a contemporary of Rebbi Elazar b'Rebbi Shimon (see Bava Metzia 85a, Zevachim 62b, Yerushalmi Ma'asros 3:4). He is the only one we know of who bears that name.
