halacha - Priorities: Mincha Ketana vs Mincha Gedola


Which timing of mincha is more important: mincha gedolah or mincha ketana? Why?




Answer



There is an advantage to praying Mincha Gedola (mincha between 6.5 halakhic hours into the day and 9.5) as "Zerizim Makdimim L'Mitzvos" (alacritous ones are early to fulfill commandments). There is also an advantage to praying Mincha Ktana (from 9.5 until the end time (10.75 or 12)), as mincha k'tana more accurately projects the time of the Korban Tamid Shel Bain Harbayim.
