Question
Hello, when should a person recite the Traveler's Prayer? Especially on today's roads and in cities.
Answer
Hello
For a journey of a 'parsa' outside of a settled area, the Traveler's Prayer is recited.
The measure of a parsa is 8000 cubits, which is 4800 meters. Slightly less than 5 kilometers.
[There is a disagreement regarding this measure, but for leniency in blessings, one can rely on this measure].
