Fregts zich alein a kashya, what happened to Mincha? To me, it seems to be a stretch to say that the Gra did not daven Mincha on Purim, in accordance with the Gemara in Eruvin that you quote, and that the author of MR neglected to mention it. It seems marginally less strange to say that the Gra simply followed the psak of the YSS. (This despite the position of Rav Moshe Shternbuch in his Maaseh Rav Hechadash proposing the opposite.)Avrohom Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792997594497432420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453787673476195995.post-45703539560423963492017-03-12T16:20:38.958-05:002017-03-12T16:20:38.958-05:00Anonymous -- I would take R' Eliezer up on it....Anonymous -- I would take R' Eliezer up on it.

But "Gaava"? Is it ever used with this meaning elsewhere?<br /><br />Also, isn't this fellow a poshei'a? He gets himself drunk in a way that it interferes with his obligation to daven. Why should he merit protection for that???<br /><br />Suggested pshat: the Sefarim say that Purim can only fall out on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday. Thats aleph-gimmel-hey-vav - spells "Gaava". (V'yesh l'phalpel tuva bazeh). So the Gemara means that someone who can't daven "bsha'as gaava" - on Purim! because he's too drunk, and its a mitzva to be drunk then, he merits a well-earned segula of protection.<br /><br />As tonight is Purim, its appropriate to wish you a freilechen Purim and many thanks for this wonderful blog.

But you are not fulfilling the requirement of ה <br /><br />There is a similar sevara in the Aruch haShulchan siman 99. The reason a shikor can't daven is not because of the lack of kavanah itself (who has kavanah these days?) but rather because you put yourself in a situation that will inevitably lead to that lack of kavanah. IOW, davening w/o kavanah is excusable; failing to prepare / avoid a situation that leads to davening w/o kavanah is not.Chaim B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.com
