Prayer at Dawn or Watching the Sunrise
Question
I want to travel to an observation point (leaving before dawn) to see the beauty of the sunrise. Is it appropriate to be awake at this time and not pray at sunrise?
Answer
Shalom Rav
Someone who does not regularly pray at dawn is not obligated to pray at dawn even if they are awake at that time.
