Beis Tefillah Yonah Avraham

When one reaches, at Shacharis, ‘…tehillos l’el elyon….’, one should stand and ready oneself for davening Shemonah Essrei. One should clear away everything physical, or  any  thoughts, that would disturb one’s concentration. After taking 3 steps back, one takes 3 steps forward as a preparation, an “entry,” into an audience with The King.

The sources have one taking the 3 steps after the berachah go’al Yisrael is completed. This is apparently not a problematic “hefsek” between ge’ulah and Tefilah. And, it is in consonance with a general insistence that a person not “do something” while davening or making a berachah.

I believe, though, that common custom is to take the three steps forward WHILE saying the last part of go’al Yisrael,and starting “HaShem, Sefosaiy……” immediately after go’al Yisrael.
Â
If you talk during davening, you are disturbing others–and HKBH, too!!

The optimum time to daven Shacharis is to start Shemonah Essrei at sunrise.

This is based on a possuk in Tehillim. One can daven afterwards, until a third of the day (4 seasonal hours) have passed. If one deliberately missed that deadline, MB rules he should daven Shemonah Essrei, until chatzos, but only with a stipulation that if not valid, it should be a voluntary prayer, a Tefillas Nedavah. If inadvertant or “oness”, one may daven Shmoneh Essrei Shacharis until chatzos.

 

PLEASE DO NOT TALK IN SHUL-CERTAINLY NOT DURING DAVENING. BESIDES ALL THAT IT INVOLVES, IT DISTURBS OTHERS. THANK YOU.

Mazal Tov to Howie and Faygie Goldstein on the engagement of their son, Shmuel, living in the Lower East Side, to Yael Schoenfeld of Cleveland.

May the new couple be zoche to build a Bayis Ne’eman Be’Yisrael.

This Shabbos, BTYA is initiating the following 3 starts:

——————————–

* A Shabbos morning “Netz” minyan.

* The beginning of Sefer Melochim in the Nach shiur.

* A Beis Medrash learning program for Shabbos mornings.

—————————————————–

The minyan starts (this week and next) at 5:03, to say Shmoneh Esrei at Netz HaNir’eh. The rest of the schedule is at our Web site.

The minyan will finish in time to join HoRav Malinowitz’s NACH SHIUR, IYH.

The Nach shiur starts at 7:25 (30 minutes before the “late” Shacharis).

The “new” Beis Medrash will enable you to learn comfortably on Shabbos morning, even while the main minyan is davening. Rumor has it that there might be some kiddush available, too!

　

WOMEN - The Ezras Nashim is open for both the minyan and the Nach shiur.

Come join the other women who have been enjoying this shiur for years.
