<font size=3>This was sent to me by Rabbi Dr. Daniel Z. Kramer. I think
that it is well worth disseminating. YL<br><br>
"B'Mechitzas Rabbeinu" -Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetzky's hanhagos. See
pages 58-59 <br><br>
Here's a loose translation by a friend: <br><br>
"One student - whose livelihood required him to always be on the
road - asked R' Yaakov what to do about davening Mincha when he was out
on the road. R' Yaakov advised him to pull into a highway rest stop or
parking lot, park his car, and daven the entire mincha while sitting
inside his car. R' Yaakov emphasized that there was absolutely no reason
in such a case to stand up and daven in public - or to do anything else
that would arouse anyone's curiosity. After all, being the subject of
everyone else's curious looks would surely detract from him ability to
concentrate on his prayers. <br><br>
He also emphasized that it was against halacha to stand outside and daven
out in the open under the 'Kippas HaShamayim'. Lastly, he told him that
although many try and solve this problem by going into an empty telephone
booth to daven, this is pure gezeilah from the phone companies. After
all, while one is in there davening mincha, he's preventing others from
entering and paying to make their phone calls."<br>
