Question
Hello Rabbi, following the Rabbi's answer that there is no broad permission to eat before the blowing, is there advice that I pray in an early minyan and hear the blowing, and after the blowing go to eat and then go to pray Mussaf in another minyan?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
In your proposal, there are two possibilities:
A. If you hear the sitting blowing and go to eat, and then return to the synagogue for the Mussaf prayer, regarding the issue of eating before the blowing, there is no deficiency, but there is a deficiency in interrupting between the blessing and the standing blowing, and the Shulchan Aruch wrote not to interrupt between them.
B. However, if you hear the shofar blowing and fulfill the obligation of the Torah blowing, and then return to the synagogue and hear again the sitting and standing blowing, this seems more beneficial, yet it is still not ideal, as there is still an interruption between the blessing and the standing blowing.
