Question
A person is praying, studying, or engaged in performing a mitzvah and hears a siren. Is he allowed to continue or is he obligated to stop? If he is obligated to stop and does not, must he pray again?
Answer
Hello
In most places in the country, except for areas near the border, it is not considered a place of danger, and there is no obligation to stop.
If it disrupts the prayer, one can go to a safe place and continue praying.
