Missing minyan for work

Hi,

One who must start work early in the morning, such that he cannot find a minyan before work, should daven before work (assuming that the time is late enough to permit davening), and not wait for a later minyan. This is because one may not work before davening.

(Rivivot Ephraim 1:66)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Making one's bed in the morning

Hi,

Although one may not engage in work before praying in the morning, one may make his bed. This is part of a normal morning routine ("derech eretz"), and it is not called 'work'.

(Rivivot Ephraim 1:62)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
