[Avodah] Tea before Shacharis

[Rich, Joel]

The mashal of Eved Hamozeg is designed to illustrate that when we have
been denied the opportunity to do the mitzva, we should understand that
HaShem is upset with us. Can someone do a search to see if this mashal
appears in other contexts? If it appears only by Sukkah, or also appears
for other similarly subjective mitzvos, then perhaps we can draw a clear
line between the cases where it applies, and the cases where Machshava
Mitztaref L'Maaseh applies.

===============================
This always bothered me versus ones rachmana patrei.  I had heard the
explanation (IIRC quoted here by R'RW) that the climate and HKB"H's
constant watch on eretz yisrael made this a "chiddush".  Note that the
Shvut Yaakov(2:10) deals with this issue and explains sukkah is a
"chiddush" because the point is you should go out sadly or else people
will think you're happy to go inside where you'd rather be anyway.

However note Rashi (this courtesy of the BICD) on yoma 88  where he
draws this mashal to a baal keri on Y"K which would seem to imply a
broader scope.
