KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA


Due to the Winter Clock, sunset is much earlier and people unfortunately have the issue of praying Minha late. Therefore, we will discuss some Halachot of Minha Times.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef Online (Yalkut.Info):

1. One is allowed to pray Minha until the end of Ben HaShemashot (between sunset and nightfall), which ends at 18 minutes after sunset (today 4:52pm). Even though one knows he will not finish Minha until after this time, if he begins to pray during this time he is allowed to finish even after nightfall. However, if an entire congregation sees that they will not finish the Tefillah of the Amida out loud (after everyone prays silently) before nightfall, then they can say Minha with the Kedusha out loud altogether in order to finish the Minha Tefillah during Ben HaShemashot.

2. After the Amida we tend to say the Vidui and Nefilat Apayim Prayer (Tahanun: Hatanu Avinu Pash’anu…). If a congregation is running late they can still say the Vidui and Nefilat Apayim prayers within the Ben HaShemashot time (meaning anytime before 4:52pm today they can say Vidui/Tahanun).
