* However, the Tosfot (Eruvin 64a s.v. shikor) and Rosh Eruvin 6:5 have a doubt whether reciting Brachot are treated like davening Tefillah near feces after the fact. The Ramban (Brachot 22b) clarifies that Tosfot never even considered if it is permitted to recite a bracha near feces. That is obviously forbidden. In fact, any Torah, bracha, tefillah, shema, or concept of Torah ("Inyan Shel Torah") is forbidden Biblically as the Torah says "והיה מחניך קדש" and doesn't specify Shema or Tefillah, so obviously it also applies to brachot. Rather Tosfot was in doubt regarding after the fact if the bracha in a dirty counts or needs to be said again. Even on that point, the Ramban writes that it is clear that one doesn't fulfill one's obligation even after the fact and there's no distinction between brachot and any other Torah. The only distinction that is relevant is that it is forbidden to recite shema near someone who passed gas but permitted to learn Torah. The Ramban writes that this is only because learning near passed gas is only rabbinic and chazal didn't want their enactment to cause people not to learn Torah but it would be forbidden to recite brachot or say shema near the gas. He concludes with the Yerushalmi Trumot 6:1 that it is forbidden to recite brachot near ervah. The Shulchan Aruch 185:5 cites the Tosfot but the Mishna Brurah 185:7 cites the Ramban.</ref>

==Saying Hashem's Name In Vain==
# It is forbidden to say Hashem's name in vain. This includes any name that is specific to Hashem, whether it is in Hebrew or in any language. <ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 6:3</ref>
# It is permitted to say Hashem's name in a form of praise or as one is learning. Certainly it is permitted to recite Hashem's name in a [[bracha]] when it is needed.<ref>Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 6:3</ref>
# It is forbidden to recite Hashem's name when one is reading bracha in the while of one's learning a gemara, rambam, or shulchan aruch.<ref>Magen Avraham 215:6, Eliyah Rabba 215:4, Birkei Yosef 215:4, Mishna Brurah 215:14, Yabia Omer 6:38:2. See Sheilat Yavetz 81 who permits. Maharam in Tashbetz Katan 119 says not to say Hashem when reading Hashem's name in the gemara.</ref>
# It is permitted to read Hashem's name as part of a pasuk while learning gemara or midrash.<ref>Chaye Adam 5:2, Mishna Brurah 215:4, Birkei Yosef 215:5, Yabia Omer 6:38:2. Sheilat Yavetz 81 writes that his father admonished him for not saying Hashem's name when learning a pasuk in the gemara. He rejects the suggestion that it is forbidden since the it is forbidden to say a pasuk by heart and so it is better not to say Hashem's name because if that were the case it would be forbidden to say any part of the pasuk. He entertains the idea that the reason the gemara only quotes partial pesukim is in order to avoid the issue of quoting a complete pasuk by heart but he doesn't like that idea based on gittin 6b. Rather since we're concerned about forgetting Torah it is permitted to write it down. If so, it is permitted to read the pesukim and from the gemara.</ref> Ashkenazim have the practice not to say Hashem's name when reading a pasuk in the gemara or when reading a half pasuk.<ref> Aruch Hashulchan 215:2 writes that it is proper not to say Hashem's name when explaining pesukim as one is learning. The Dirshu (Mishna Brurah 215:16) quotes the Steipler (Karyana Digarta 1:132) who recommended saying Hashem when learning gemara or a half pasuk. They also cite Rav Elyashiv (Shiurei Brachot p. 634) saying that the minhag is not to say Hashem's name (Adonay) when learning gemara out of extra respect but it is say the other names of Hashem such as Elokim. Such was the practice of Rav Elyashiv.</ref> Sephardim have the practice to say Hashem's name as part of a pasuk while learning gemara.<Ref>Birkei Yosef 215:5, Yabia Omer OC 3:14. Yabia Omer explicitly writes that it is permitted and one shouldn't be strict not to say it. Or Letzion 2:14:34 writes that it is permitted to say Hashem's name as part of a pasuk in the gemara as long as the part of the pasuk is meaningful in it of itself such as a phrase but not just two words out of context.</ref>
