Plag Hamincha

It is currently 3:30 in the afternoon, and I still need to pray Mincha. Nightfall is at 5:58PM;
how much longer do I have left before it is too late to pray according to Rav Yehudah?

I need you to explain to me why... how...

You can pray until sunset- Is nightfall sunset?

Allen said...

Plag Hamincha is in between Minchah and sunset.

Jake B said...

1 hour and 13 minutes because it is 1 hour and 15 minutes before sunset.

Daniel Gordon said...

Rabbi Judah maintained that Mincha can be prayed (from one half hour after midday) until 1 1/4 hours before sunset.

Anonymous said...

from one half hour after midday until 1 1/4 hours so 5:58-1:15 minutes=4:43 so you have only an hour and 13 minutes

Daniel Gordon said...

Plag Mincha is between there.

Mitch said...

Plag Hamincha is one and a half halachic hours before sunset. Found on- /www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/144443/jewish/Plag-Hamincha.htm

Hi! You have until 1 1/4 hours before sunset (5:58), which would be until 4:43 PM to pray Mincha. This is according to Rabbi Yehudah. Source:http://www.askmoses.com/article.html?h=148&o=82950

And you can start praying from one hour and a half after midday.(Same source)But, at 3:30, you can already pray Mincha.

If we do Plag Hamincha on Shabbat, the meal would start at around 10 o' clock.

Lior said...

Rabbi Yehuda said that you can read the mishna until 1 and one fourth an hour before sunset so it would be 4:58 - 15 which 4:43 p.m

You can pray Mincha from half an hour after the middle of the day to 1 and 1/4 hours before sunset

gavriella said...

thats around 4;25 if sunset is at 5;40 from http://www.sunrisesunset.com/calendar.asp

Allen said...

You calculate one third or one half by taking sunrise and sunset and doing some simple division.Also, Yarden was cheating during this process.

Allen said...

I was wrong she was not.

Yardi said...

ALLEN IS WRONG I WASNT

Danielle said...

the sun sets at 5:46 pm on january 9, 2008. you could davin plag mincha from 3:30 pm to 5:46 pm.

Yardi said...

what i did is i figured out that the sunrise is at 7:20 tomorrow and and the sun sets at 4:45 p.m. tomorrow. I took those two numbers and calculated how much is in between. 9 hours and 25 minutes. half of 9 hours and 25 minutes is 4 hours and 12.5 minutes. I added that to 4:45 p.m.

Leslie said...

You need to think about how long it will take to say the entire prayer because if you decide to start praying at 5:57, but it will take you 5 minutes is it still possible to pray?
