i seem to recall a thread like this a while back, not sure.
this might be very useful for people here, especially for their Olam HaBah
im not sure how this would apply to Sephardi pronunciation but the Mishna Berurah makes a strong point that when putting on Tefillin, one should pronounce hah-maw-niach, with a kametz not ha-mah-niach with a patach. one way means to place, one means to put aside or abandon.
i would love to hear other such Halachas that many people may not be aware of.
moti – good one to bring up! I too, am annoyed when a Shatz does that, or when someone is saying kaddish and ends off “D’amiran b’alma v’imru” and then waits to say “amen” together with those responding. Please think about what you are saying! The one who is saying kaddish is telling the people to say “amen”, so tell them that! V’imru amen – and say amen. V’imru – and say. And say what?
This problem is also aggravated by the fact that sometimes the “nusach” (i.e. the tune that the chazzan uses) lends itself to making this mistake.

I mean ending the entire word in a hurry not in a smooth length since there are some mispalelim who are starting to answer amen before completing the last word of the bracha. check it out on your next teffila and you’ll be amazed.
Its pretty scary to find out after 120 that you have no Amens in your account.
Here is one I just saw today, quite applicable:
If the minyan has accepted Shabbos already, one may not daven Mincha there. Even if it is still before shkiah. Instead one daven in the hallway, or if empty, the Ezras Nashim.

Accepted shabbos in what aspect? since most of us daven Mincha after we stop doing a melacha.
I think he means as in reaching the end of Kabbolas Shabbos.
Similarly (although I can’t think of a city where this happens today), if an entire city or neighborhood brings in Shabbos early, you as a yochid must be makabel shabbos along with them. In every place I know of, there is at least one “early shabbos” minyan and one “late shabbos” minyan, so this would not be an issue. But if you know of someplace that only has “early shabbos”, travelers through that city would need to be careful, or they would be mechallel shabbos.
Lets say the shul is being mekabel early Shabbos. If they already said Mizmor Shir L’Yom Hashabbos, the tzibbor is considered to have been mekabel Shabbos. So if someone walks in now, they cannot daven mincha in the shul, even though it might still be an hour to shkiah.
This does not apply once the minyan is done and has left.
This is important to know during the summer months when many, if not most bring in the Shabbos early.
squeak, that would be quite common in small towns (with only 1 shul), or in Europe where shkiah can easily be after 9pm in many places.
feivel, never knew that, thanx for clarifying.
The title is kinda funny. Aren’t all halachos important?
i heard this once please help me with it
there is a bracha to say specifically when one sees the meditteranian sea. and this applies to flights as well.
is this true? whats the bracha?
I think theres a bracha to say when you ee an ocean and you havent seen one in… (not sure a month, 6 months) not sure what the bracha is. sorry to be so helpful 😉
You say a bracha if your seeing a diffrent sea then the one you usually see. You see?
Even if you always see the medditeraininan and you go to the west coast you need to say one on the pacific too.
Spueak – how about in a sleepaway camp. If there is only one minyan in the camp and the camp is in middle of nowhere, would this apply?
No halacha fits this topic more then mayim achronim
kapusta, it’s 30 days and it’s “she’asa es hayam hagadol”
Can anybody answer the following?
I live in NY, Last week i was driving my car to shul to daven Mincha, it was very late, almost passed the Zman mincha as i reached the block of my shul i realized that i couldn’t find a parking space. I had a choice either to park double run in to shul and possibly (likely) get a ticket($115)or i could daven in the car mincha, or keep looking for a space and pass mincha time. What i did is irrelevant,my question is what would you fallows do?
Her is my question. Why in the world are people askling ( and accepting ) piskei halacha from anonymous strangers instead of asking their Rav?
ye i would say daven b’yochid. if you can’t- it’s probably better to not daven at all than to double park.
moti107:
Which Z’man? if not RT (58 2/3 min after shkeia) you can be a “chossid for a day :)”
I would not daven IN the car, rather drive back home & daven there.
Les: No-one is arguing don’t AYLOR. This is a “what would you do” since in the hypothetical, YLOR is davening in the minyan and you can’t ask!
Lesschumras
I was not asking for piskei halacha here i was just asking what you would do in such a case when you dont have time to call a posek and every second counts. Its like a test on your self if you can put your self in such a position.
Feivel
In my case it wouldn’t block the Traffic but yes you can add it to my debate.
hey you can park by a pump. or a “no standing/parking any time” but you might get a big fat ticket.
and if there’s a fire you might return to see a power hose running straight through your front seat windows.
Fievel
if you have the option you can park at the begining or end of the street, or if there is a gap between 1 car to the next one not enough for a parking space but just enough for the inside car to get his way out.
