(See Mishna Beruarah).

It is pretty clear that the ideal time in halacha for the morning prayers is with sunrise. On the other end, there is also a latest time for Sh'ma (and also for the amidah). The Talmud and successive codes talk of this at length. The ideal scenario is to say Sh&#Mordechai Y.

We go to hashkama minyan every week-and we bring along our six month old son. <br />Some of the reasons we like it that didn't appear in your post: it's smaller, especially since our shul is big, it's nice to only have about 40 or 50 people there instead of a couple of hundred.

Which means more family time, and even more realistically--more time I don't have to be home during the winter months alone on Shabbos with three bored children. (we are up 15 floors and it is too cold right now for the little ones to go out anyhow.)<br /><br />Second-- THANK YOU for your Ellehttp://www.onbecomingdevoted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292734369805726323.post-40337345020520294592011-12-19T13:24:46.801-05:002011-12-19T13:24:46.801-05:00I think it's almost impossible for most of us ...I think it's almost impossible for most of us to imagine what life was like here in the US at the turn of the century or during the great depression, particularly for those recently arrived immigrants. It's easy to pass judgment on their level of observance or level of assimilation, but I think that unless we've lived through similar times, it does no good.<br /><br />Our sacrifices Redactedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472100109027120712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5292734369805726323.post-90422657056303496302011-12-19T11:49:11.745-05:002011-12-19T11:49:11.745-05:00Some people just like davening earlier.
