Is it OK to skip davening in order to help out my wife at home with the kids?

  • Are you asking based in the principle of osek b'mitsvah pattur min hamitsvah? If so, consider noting that. – mevaqesh Nov 24 '16 at 06:04
  • Is this in addition to or instead of her skipping Minyan? – Double AA Nov 24 '16 at 06:04
  • @DoubleAA Only the 1st question is a duplicate. – Loewian Nov 25 '16 at 04:42
  • @Loewian Well then either it's too broad or a dupe. Either way no reason for a reopen vote. – Double AA Nov 25 '16 at 04:43
  • @DoubleAA How is it too broad? – Loewian Nov 25 '16 at 04:45
  • @Loewian Multiple questions in one post. However you figure, it makes no sense to open a whole nother thread because it adds one additional subquestion. That's totally inefficient and misses the whole point of the duplicate system. – Double AA Nov 25 '16 at 04:46
  • @DoubleAA More so than e.g. http://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/16144/matza-on-14-iyar ? – Loewian Nov 25 '16 at 04:47
  • @Loewian Probably not. But that doesn't make opening this a good idea at all. There's a reason I went for dupe over too broad. Most of the post is a dupe. We don't need to rehash it all. – Double AA Nov 25 '16 at 04:49
  • Plus the answer to both is the same: he's Tarud and Oseik BeMitzva (not to mention a Meshmesh to an effective Choleh in many cases); of course he's exempt if he needs to be (in most cases a parent could just wake up 7 minutes earlier; we're talking about where he's stuck and needs to deal with the kids). – Double AA Nov 25 '16 at 04:51
  • The point is does this mean that he wants to skip davening all together or just skip minyon and daven at home (either before or after helping with the children)> – sabbahillel Nov 25 '16 at 18:20
  • @sabba the answer is the same – Double AA Nov 25 '16 at 20:32
