Mincha

  • Mincha, Zmanim
  • Mincha Gedola

Is Mincha Gedola half a halachic hour after Chatzos or 30 minutes?

Minchah Gedolah: All about Davening an Early Minchah

  Some people prefer to daven minchah at the earliest possible time. There is a discussion in poskim whether it is preferable to daven minchah gedolah (early minchah) or minchah ketanah (late minchah— after 9.5 halachic “hours” of the day have passed). Either…

  • Erev Shabbos, Mincha

Is there an issue with saying הודו and פתח אליהו after Shkiah, especially for women who already lit candles?

  Hodu is a prayer recited Friday right before Mincha, when concluding weekday activities and getting ready for Shabbos, and thus it should be said before sunset, and before accepting…

  • Mincha, Tachanun
  • davening at a non Lubavitch shul

I sometimes Daven Mincha at a Shul that doesn’t say Tachanun, should I be saying myself?

  When davening minchah with that minyan you may skip tachanun. However, if at all possible, you should say it privately in a way that’s not noticeable.   Sources: ראה…

Do I have to have Kavana by Poseiach Es Yadecha also by the one said before Uvo letziyon and Mincha?

Should I say Karbanos before Davening even if I’ll miss the Minyan?

  Question: If the Minyan just started and one didn't yet say karbanos, is it better to first say karbanos or can it be said after Shmone Esrei? How about…

  • Maariv, Mincha, Tallis
  • או"ח יח

Is there a Halacha prohibiting the use of a Tallis during Mincha prayer?

  No, it is a matter of custom. However, there are clear sources against wearing a Talis during Maariv/Arvit.   Sources: ראה ספר משנת חסידים התחלה (מפתח הכוונות). שו"ע אדה״ז…

מה הדין ביצא אחד מהמנין אחר קדיש דתפילת מנחה קודם חזרת הש”ץ, האם אומרים חזרת הש”ץ?

  תשובה: אין אומרים חזרת הש"ץ, דהיינו כל זמן שאין עשרה כשמתחיל חזרת הש"ץ, אין לומר חזרת הש"ץ (חוץ מתפילת ערבית שאם הי' שם עשרה בשעת התפילה ויצאו אחר שמו"ע…

  • Kedushah, Mincha

If I came late to Mincha should I wait to answer Kedusha and only then start my own Shmoneh Esrei?

  Answer: No, rather you should start saying Shmoneh Esrei together with the chazzan as he begins Chazaras Hashatz following along word-for-word, and say kedusha out loud together with the…
