# In the times of the gemara, in cases of great need such as (1) if one is traveling or in any other place where there is a fear that others will interrupt one's [[Shemona Esreh]], or (2) if one is in a place where one can’t concentrate because of distractions or sickness, one should say an abridged [[Shemona Esreh]] of the first and last three Brachot of [[Shemona Esreh]] and an alternate text for the middle of [[Shemona Esreh]] called Havinenu. <Ref>

* The Mishna (Brachot 28b) quotes a dispute where Rabban Gamliel says that every day a person should say [[Shemona Esreh]], Rabbi Yehoshua says that one can say an abridged [[Shemona Esreh]], and Rabbi Akiva says that only one who is unfamiliar with the words of [[Shemona Esreh]] should say the abridged [[Shemona Esreh]]. The Gemara (29a) quotes a dispute as to the meaning of an abridged [[Shemona Esreh]], Rav saying it means an abridgement of all 19 Brachot, and Shmuel saying it means Havinenu. Rashi (Brachot 29a D”H Havinenu) says that Shmuel means that one should say the first and last three Brachot as usual and the middle 13 Brachot are abridged to be one Bracha.

* Which tanna of the Mishna does the halacha follow? The Rambam (Pirush Mishnayot 4:3) writes that the halacha follows Rabbi Akiva. The Kesef Mishna (Tefillah 2:2) writes that we hold like Rabbi Akiva (because of the general rule that we hold like Rabbi Akiva over his college and even though we don’t hold like Rabbi Akiva when he argues on a number of his colleges here Rabban Gamliel and Rabbi Yehoshua disagree it’s like he is arguing over individual opinions).

* What does Rabbi Akiva mean? Rav Ovadyah MeBartenuro (Brachot 4:3) writes that the halacha follows Rabbi Akiva and so if one is either unfamiliar with the words of [[Shemona Esreh]] or if one is in a situation of extenuating circumstances one may say Havinenu. However, the Meiri (Brachot 28b on Mishna) writes that the halacha is like Rabbi Akiva but explains that only if it’s a extenuating circumstance can one say Havinenu and Rabbi Akiva meant that if one isn’t familiar with [[Shemona Esreh]] enough to say it with kavana in such a extenuating circumstance one may say Havinenu. [It seems from the following paragraphs that the halacha follows the מאירי’s explanation of Rabbi Akiva.]

* The Gemara (Brachot 29a) records Abaye’s resentment for those who said Havinenu because they would be skipping over the brachas instituted for [[Shemona Esreh]] (Rashi D”H Layit). Tosfot (29a D”H Layit) writes that the halacha follows Abaye that one shouldn’t say Havinenu. However, Tosfot concludes that in some versions Abaye only expressed resentment for those who said it in the city but it’s permissible to say it while traveling. This is also the opinion of Tosfot earlier on 3a (D”H Haya). [It’s unclear whether Tosfot means someone who is traveling specifically or any extenuating circumstance; see Halacha Brurah (Birur Halacha 110:1) who quotes other Rishonim who emphasize traveling specifically. Nonetheless, the Bet Yosef 110:1 quotes Tosfot and then writes that since the Rif, Rosh, and Rambam agree that one can say it in Shaat HaDachak that’s the halacha (which seems to imply that it’s a separate approach).]

Basics

  1. In the times of the gemara, in cases of great need one should say an abridged Shmoneh Esrei called Havinenu. [1]
  2. In the times of the gemara, cases of great need that warranted saying Havinenu included:
    1. if one is traveling or in any other place where there is a fear that others will interrupt one's Shmoneh Esrei, and
    2. if one is in a place where one can’t concentrate because of distractions or sickness. [1]
  3. Havinenu is made up of the first and last three Brachot of Shmoneh Esrei and an alternate text for the middle of Shmoneh Esrei. [1]

The practice nowadays

  1. Nowadays the authorities agree that one should not say Havinenu (an abridged Shmoneh Esrei) but rather one should always say the unabridged version of Shemona Esrei. [2]

How Havinenu is said

  1. Havinenu should be said standing. [3]
  2. Havinenu takes the place of Shmoneh Esrei and when one is no longer in an extenuating circumstance one doesn’t have to repeat Shmoneh Esrei.[4]

When Havinenu could be said

  1. One may not say Havinenu during the winter (from Dec 4, outside Israel, or 7th of Cheshvan in Israel, until the second day of Pesach) nor on Motzei Shabbat or Yom Tov.[5]

The text of Havinenu

  1. Havinenu is composed of the first three brachot of Shemona Esrei, then the middle insertion summarizing all of the requests, and then the last three brachot of Shemona Esrei.[6]
  2. The middle insertion of Havinenu which summarizes our requests is as follows: הביננו ה' אלהינו לדעת את דרכיך ומול את לבבינו ליראתך לסלוח היה לנו להיות גאולים ורחקנו ממכאוב ודשננו בנאות ארצך והנפוצים בארבע כנפות הארץ תקבץ והתועים בדעתך ישפטו ועל הרשעים תניף ידיך וישמחו צדיקים בבנין עירך ובתיקון היכלך ובצמיחת קרן לדוד עבדך ובעריכת נר לבן ישי משיחך טרם נקרא אתה תענה טרם נדבר אתה תשמע כי אתה ה' עונה ומציל בכל עת צרה וצוקה פודה ומציל ברוך אתה ה' שומע תפלה [7]

Workers who are in a rush

  1. In the days of the Gemara, workers who’s pay is their food should say Shmoneh Esrei regularly but not do a Chazarat HaShatz or Birkat Cohanim and workers who are paid beside receiving food should say Havinenu instead of Shmoneh Esrei. However, nowadays when employers aren’t so insistent about this one should say the full version of Shmoneh Esrei.[8]

    • The Mishna (Brachot 28b) quotes a dispute where Rabban Gamliel says that every day a person should say Shmoneh Esrei, Rabbi Yehoshua says that one can say an abridged Shmoneh Esrei, and Rabbi Akiva says that only one who is unfamiliar with the words of Shmoneh Esrei should say the abridged Shmoneh Esrei.
