Halakhah for Berakhot 59:13
רשב"א אומר בין כך ובין כך קורא ק"ש ומתפלל כדי שיסמוך גאולה לתפלה
R. Simeon b. Eleazar says : In all circumstances, he reads the Shema' and then says the Tefillah in order to unite it with the Ge'ullah.
Peninei Halakhah, Women's Prayer
One who stands in prayer outside of Eretz Yisrael must face the land and direct her heart toward Jerusalem, the site of the Temple, and the Kodesh Ha-kodashim (the Inner Sanctum of the Temple). If is in Eretz Yisrael, she must face Jerusalem and direct her heart toward the Temple and the Kodesh Ha-kodashim. If she is in Jerusalem, she faces the site of the Temple and directs her heart toward the Kodesh Ha-kodashim (Berakhot 30a; SA 94:1).
