so chiakel told me a nice chazal today, being that i was told by my rebbe and dr not to fast chaikel said when you dont do a mitzva bec of a circumstance, its as if you did the mitzva blev shalaim. as he explained, if one is at a bris and theres no tachnun, its as if you said tachnun with all the proper kavanos! (tachnun in the books by the way is very chashuv) in EY they dont do c-sections on sharie tzedek bec its tachnun days, days we need to be asking for specific teshuva (r' eliyashivs psak)) anyways, chainkel was saying, i was not allowed o fast, but its as if i fasted, and i did it correctly! he also mentioned that theres a person who he knows who had to miss kol nidrey and neila in the past for a proper ones (going into the hospital for a baby type) and he had the best yr ever.
sorry no caps, its so hard on a keyboard to use the thumb and type quick for me.
