Question
Urgent question!! I need to leave Modiin for Jerusalem tomorrow morning at 5:30 for my young son's surgery. When should I pray Shacharit before leaving — at dawn or at the hospital when I arrive?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
If it is certain that you can pray in Jerusalem when you arrive, pray there.
However, if it is uncertain whether you will be able to pray when you arrive in Jerusalem, pray after dawn.
