Question
Following the previous question, what about the Shacharit prayer or any prayer when in a state of mental weakness and unclarity due to stress, pressure, anxiety, etc.? And regarding Birkat Hamazon, there is a shortened version for women, among Sephardim, where each blessing is said but in a shortened form. Is this better than saying only part of the blessings but in their entirety? Best regards
Answer
Hello
Prayer - It depends on whether one can stand before an important person and say their words. If the state does not allow this, one is exempt from prayer.
Birkat Hamazon - When it is not possible to bless as usual, one can say the shortened version.
