KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEHOO BEN HAOLAM HABA


For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester & Israel Ben Rivka.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef:

1. One is not allowed to eat or drink before Tefillat Shacharit (morning prayer service), because the Torah says: “Lo Tochelu Al HaDam.” Chazal learn from this one should not eat before praying on his blood. In any case, one is allowed to drink water, tea and/or coffee (drinks that do not have any signs of fulfillment), even with sugar. This also stands for Yom Shabbat (morning of Shabbat before Shul).

2. Many of the Achronim (big Rabbis from the 1500s until our generation) have a mahloket (halachic, law-related, argument) regarding drinking coffee with milk in the morning and if it is allowed. They all agree that coffee with a little bit of milk, not seen to the naked eye, is allowed and one can be lenient and drink. However on coffee that all see has milk in it and the color difference is distinguishable, the Rabbanim agree that one should be stringent and refrain from drinking it before Tefillah. Rav Ovadya explains that one should be lenient only is he/she is weak. In any case, one should say Birkot HaShachar, Birkot HaTorah, Akedat Yitzchak and a chunk of Korbanot before drinking the coffee with the little bit of milk inside.
