May One Pray Min\u0125a after Accepting Shabbat?"},"content":{"rendered":"

There are shuls where the weekday Min\u0125a on Friday is finished after shki\u2019a, so that if the participants wait to accept Shabbat until after Min\u0125a, Shabbat in fact has already begun, and they are unable to fulfill the mitzva of tosefet Shabbat. Thus the question arises: may one accept Shabbat but then pray the weekday Min\u0125a?<\/p>\n

According to some authorities, one who has accepted Shabbat may no longer pray the weekday Min\u0125a, because one may not pray a weekday Min\u0125a after Shabbat has begun (and one may not pray Shabbat Min\u0125a, because that is to be said only on Saturday). Therefore, in their opinion, one who mistakenly accepted Shabbat before praying Min\u0125a has lost the opportunity to pray Min\u0125a, and during Ma\u2019ariv he should pray the Amida twice. The first time serves as the regular Ma\u2019ariv of Shabbat and the second time is to compensate for the Min\u0125a that he missed (SA 263:15; MB ad loc. 60). This applies to women as well, and thus a woman may not pray Min\u0125a after she has lit candles \u2013 how can she pray a weekday Min\u0125a after she has accepted Shabbat? If she wishes to compensate for missing Min\u0125a, she should pray the Amida twice at Ma\u2019ariv (MB ad loc. 43). The only alternative is to pray Min\u0125a earlier, while it is still day, and to accept Shabbat afterward. Where Min\u0125a is prayed after shki\u2019a, one must pray Min\u0125a earlier on his own so that he will be able to add tosefet Shabbat. For the mitzva of tosefet Shabbat is a Torah law, while praying with a minyan is a rabbinic requirement (SSK 46:5).<\/p>\n

Several authorities maintain, however, that even after one has accepted Shabbat, he may still pray the weekday Min\u0125a. They reason that tosefet Shabbat only requires that one not transgress any Torah prohibitions of Shabbat, but does not extend to the realm of prayer; thus, one may still pray the weekday Min\u0125a. Just as in the service of a mitzva one may do things that are rabbinically prohibited during tosefet Shabbat, so too he may pray the weekday Min\u0125a then. Only one who accepted Shabbat with the congregation may not pray the weekday Min\u0125a. Therefore, if one has still not prayed Min\u0125a and it is very close to shki\u2019a, he should accept Shabbat verbally and then pray the weekday Min\u0125a (Tzitz Eliezer 13:42; Min\u0125at Yitz\u0125ak 9:20). Still others maintain that in such a case one must be careful to accept Shabbat only mentally. On the one hand, one may accept Shabbat this way; on the other hand, since it was only in his head, he may still pray the weekday Min\u0125a (Yabi\u2019a Omer 7:34).<\/p>\n

The widespread custom is that if shki\u2019a is approaching and one has still not prayed Min\u0125a, he accepts tosefet Shabbat \u2013 whether verbally or mentally \u2013 and then prays the weekday Min\u0125a. Be-di\u2019avad, women too may pray Min\u0125a after lighting candles. If one knows that the minyan is going to pray Min\u0125a late, he should preferably fulfill his obligation in conformity with all opinions by praying Min\u0125a on his own and accepting Shabbat before shki\u2019a. If he is sure that he will be able to accept Shabbat during the repetition of the Amida, it is best that he pray with the minyan and accept tosefet Shabbat during the repetition.[6]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

[6]<\/a>. Following the first opinion, if one comes to shul close to shki\u2019a and knows that if he begins to pray the weekday Min\u0125a he will not finish his silent Amida before shki\u2019a, he should preferably accept Shabbat and later pray the Amida of Ma\u2019ariv twice. This is the opinion of MB 263:43, SSK, and R. Mazuz. A woman who does not have time to pray Min\u0125a and then light the candles should light the candles and not pray. If she prays Min\u0125a regularly, she may pray the Amida of Ma\u2019ariv twice, with the second recitation being compensatory. See Peninei Halakha: Women\u2019s Prayer 13:6. <\/p>\n

Following the second opinion, if one comes to shul close to shki\u2019a, he should accept tosefet Shabbat and pray the weekday Min\u0125a. One may pray the weekday Min\u0125a even after accepting tosefet Shabbat, as tosefet Shabbat only causes melakhot to be prohibited but does not affect prayer. This is the position of Tzitz Eliezer, following Zera Emet and other A\u0125aronim. Min\u0125at Yitz\u0125ak 9:20 agrees and adds another reason: even on Shabbat itself one may pray the weekday prayer, but in order to shorten the service the Sages formulated an abbreviated version. Therefore, when necessary, one may pray the weekday Min\u0125a even after accepting tosefet Shabbat. Piskei Teshuvot \u00a7263 records this approach as that of many A\u0125aronim.<\/p>\n

Some follow the second opinion but maintain that one must accept tosefet Shabbat only mentally but not verbally. In other words, he decides to refrain from melakha from here on, thus fulfilling the mitzva of tosefet Shabbat, but since he has not verbalized this acceptance he may still pray the weekday Min\u0125a. R. Ovadia Yosef writes this in Yabi\u2019a Omer 7:34, p. 97 and Livyat \u0124en \u00a76; see also Menu\u0125at Ahava 1:5:6.<\/p>\n

An additional dispute among the A\u0125aronim concerns the questionable status of one who responds with the congregation to the \u0125azan\u2019s declaration of \u201cBarkhu.\u201d According to Ye\u0125aveh Da\u2019at 6:18, one may not respond to Barkhu and still maintain that he has not accepted Shabbat. Thus one who responded may no longer pray the weekday Min\u0125a. On the other hand, Igrot Moshe O\u0124 3:37 maintains that if one thinks to himself that he is not accepting Shabbat, he may respond to Barkhu and still pray the weekday Min\u0125a afterward; however, based on SA 263:15, he should make sure to pray outside of shul.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
