Eating Before Mussaf
Question
Hello Rabbi, what is permitted to eat before Mussaf?
Answer
Shalom and blessings. Before Mussaf, it is permitted to make Kiddush and then eat a light meal, which includes eating as much fruit as one desires, as well as eating up to a k'beitza (100 cc) of bread or cakes and other baked goods up to the amount considered a meal. If one is weak, they may eat until they feel well.
