<p>(1) You shouldn't eat *anything* before praying, because you're supposed to serve HaShem before yourself.<br />
(2) After reciting the Birkot HaTorah followed by the quotations from Torah and Talmud and all three paragraphs of the Sh'ma, one may eat a snack, but anything resembling even a small meal is not allowed. Pastries are fine, but a hard-boiled egg is not.<br />
(3) After reciting the Birkot HaTorah followed by the quotations from Torah and Talmud and all three paragraphs of the Sh'ma, one may eat a snack that consists of anything except (a) bread (b) anything over which you'd have to say, um, al hamichyah (birkat sheva?)--wheat, rye, oats, barley, spelt, dates, figs, olives, grapes, or pomegranates. This is, of course, the opposite of (2), allowing me to have some protein, without which I could get light-headed, before sitting in synagogue for several hours. Naturally, I go with 3). Nothing like washing down egg salad on a puffed corn cake with a few strawberries and some chocolate (my preferred form of caffein) before shul.</p>Mimi commented on 'Not a good Shabbos... a <i>great</i> one!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef01157060f665970c2009-06-25T08:39:33Z2009-06-25T08:39:33ZMimihttp://www.mimi54.wordpress.comWell, Lubavitchers justify early breakfast by saying that you have to eat in order to doven, not the other way...<p>Well, Lubavitchers justify early breakfast by saying that you have to eat in order to doven, not the other way around.

<p>Max Power... I was seriously tempted back in my single days. Almost every Lubavitcher wedding I played (as a musician) I couldn't help noticing that the Lubavitcher girls were stunning! :-)</p>
<p>Imshin... I read about your cat woes. I don't know who to feel worse for; you and eldest for your (impending) loss, or Bish for his having to have suffered all this time as a victim. Hope this is for the best.</p>
<p>Jack ... Isn't that the slogan for Denny's? :-)</p>
<p>shmiel ... I think of you whenever I hear the line. :-)</p>
<p>Ben Chorin... Thanks, but nobody is ever going to confuse me with a Chossid. </p>
<p>jordan Hirsch... I don't remember whether it was you or Shmiel that told me the joke... but I definitely heard it in your old apartment.</p>
<p>LeahGG... What, the buses weren't running? :-)</p>
<p>Erachet... Corn bread is big in my book as well, although not with syrup. That's for pancakes and waffles only.</p>
<p>QuietusLeo ... You know that even though we had a great time with you guys, you will never be allowed to live down the potato festival, right? :-)</p>
<p>Rivka with a capital A... I knew you had good taste! :-)</p>
<p>psachya... ah yes, old Rav don't remember who, I know him. :-)</p>
<p>Marjorie Hirsch... I love that story. Maybe I'll share it here one day.</p>

His reasoning - a choleh is allowed to eat before davening, especially if tefilah ends very late. And because a lack of food makes us weak, it puts us all into the category of a choleh, thus allowing us to eat breakfast on Shabbos. Not a psak that I follow personally, but yesh l'cha al mi lismoch.</p>
