הצטרפתי למנין ספרדי שמתפללים ערבית בעוד עדיין לא נהי’ צאת כידוע. הבעי’ שהלכתי לישון בלי לעשות מעריב וקמתי כמה דקות לפני עלות השחר ואחרי משך זמן עשיתי מעריב, אבל נראה לי שזה הי’ אחרי עלות, האם להתפלל מעריב בכזה מקרה נחשב או בכלל לא ראוי לנהוג כך (להתפלל אחרי עלות השחר- האם בדיעבד עובד), או צריך להתפלל פעמיים 2 עמידות?

  במקום אונס, אפשר להתפלל מעריב עד הנץ החמה. אבל אין אומרים השכיבנו. וכן אין להתפלל שמונה עשרה. ויש מתירים להתפלל שמונה עשרה גם כן. (ואף שהיא דעת יחיד, בדיעבד…

When spitting by Oleinu on Shabbos does one need to wipe it differently then during the week? Is there a difference between a wood floor and a rug? Does it matter if its a dark rug?

If there is only a Cohen on Rosh Chosesh, is it a issue to give him Rishon and Sheini, since you are repeating the same verse twice for the same person?
