Making up Pesukei d'Zimra

Hi,

One who misses the morning shacharit prayer due to a reason other than carelessness recites the amidah for minchah twice. The second amidah counts as the morning shacharit amidah, but one does not precede it with the pesukei d'zimra paragraphs which would have been used as part of shacharit.

One who misses pesukei d'zimra may recite its paragraphs at any point during the day, but one would not recite the beginning and ending blessings.

(Rivivot Ephraim 1:169)

Missing davening due to business

Hi,

One who missed davening [prayer] due to business should recite the next amidah twice; he is not viewed as having been careless. This is true even if there had been time to pray earlier in the day, and it was only at the end that he became embroiled in his work and he missed the time to pray.

Of course, one should make sure to pray early in the acceptable timeframe if he anticipates that such a circumstance might arise.

(Rivivot Ephraim 1:166:1)

A make-up prayer

Hi,

One who misses an amidah due to error or due to circumstances beyond his control is permitted to recite a second amidah for the next prayer, and count that as a make-up. However, one may not do so at a later prayer; it may only be done at the immediately ensuing prayer.

Perhaps the limit on making up a missed prayer stems from the fact that the amidah is considered to be parallel to the daily offerings brought in the Beit haMikdash. Those offerings may not be made up on the following day; therefore, the amidah cannot be made up on the following day.

It is true that one who misses minchah is able to make it up at maariv, but this may be because portions of the daytime offering are placed on the altar that night, at the time of maariv. [I am not sure, though, how this will fit with making up maariv on the next morning.]

(Rivivot Ephraim 1:100:1)

Have a great day,

A Friday afternoon onein

Hi,

The following halachah is a bit more complex than the pieces I usually cite, but I bring it here because I find it particularly interesting:

One whose parent passes away is an 'onein', and exempt from many mitzvot, until burial. However, on Shabbat the period of being an onein is waived for many purposes.

Therefore, one whose parent passes away on Friday afternoon ר"ל will not daven minchah. However, should the burial not take place before Shabbos then he will daven normally on Shabbos.

If the onein had the opportunity to daven minchah before the parent passed away, and knew that the parent was in danger of dying, then he should daven a second, make-up amidah after maariv that evening, because missing minchah was partially a product of his personal decision.

On the other hand, if the death was sudden, then the onein is entirely exempt from minchah and he does not daven a second amidah after maariv.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 5:24:11)

Have a good day,
Mordechai
