Before amud hashachar<\/i> a person is allowed to travel, provided that he plans his departure in such a way that he will succeed in reciting Shacharit<\/i> on time. However, after amud hashachar<\/i>, a person is prohibited from going on his way; instead, he must pray first and only then may he leave. Even if he has to leave home so early that he will miss praying with the minyan<\/i> in his area, whereas he will still be able to pray in a minyan<\/i> at his destination, it is preferable for him to pray individually before departing (Mishnah Berurah <\/i>89:20).<\/p>\n

This prohibition refers to setting out on a long trip, for that is the meaning of \u201cyotzeh laderech<\/i>\u201d (going on one\u2019s way). One interpretation maintains that the words refer to a journey that lasts at least 72 minutes (Shut Or L\u2019Tzion<\/i>, part 2, 7:6). In times of need one may rely on that opinion. Therefore, concerning a person who must start traveling earlier than the time of the minyan<\/i> in his area, if his trip lasts less than 72 minutes, it is preferable for him to leave and then pray in a minyan<\/i> at his destination. However, if his trip lasts longer than 72 minutes, it is best that he pray first in his area individually.<\/p>\n

If the entire trip is for the sake of prayer, for example, traveling to recite Shacharit<\/i> at the Kotel<\/i>, one is permitted to depart before praying, even if the travel time will last more than 72 minutes, for he is traveling to pray and not for his own personal needs (Or L\u2019Tzion<\/i> there).[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

[7]<\/a>.\u00a0Avnei Yashfeh<\/i> 14:20 writes that there are <\/span>poskim<\/i> who maintain that if along the way there are towns, this road is considered a road within a city. For that reason, it is permissible to travel on the road between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. According to him, it seems that this is true also when traveling from Ashkelon to Nahariah, for communities are found all along the way. However, it is difficult to accept the opinion of these <\/span>poskim<\/i> because any trip that lasts 72 minutes is certainly considered tending to one\u2019s personal needs before prayer. Perhaps only in extenuating circumstances is it permissible to rely on these opinions.<\/span>
\nIt seems that before praying, l’chatchilah<\/i> a person should not even leave for a trip that lasts only half an hour. If there is a minyan<\/i> in one\u2019s area, it is preferable to pray with it instead of traveling to his workplace to pray there, for there is reason l’chatchilah<\/i> to maintain that even a trip of half an hour is considered traveling before prayer, especially if that is the regular road he takes to work.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
