# One may take out the garbage on one's way to Shul before Davening.<ref>Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (quoted by Tefillah Kehilchata c. 6, n. 36 and Ishei Yisrael c. 13, n. 46, p. 122) ruled that it was permitted to quickly look over a newspaper, take out the trash on one's way to Shul, or put a load of sorted laundry into the washer before Davening. See also Eshel Avraham 89:3 who says that perhaps anything which is a quick and simple work that would be permitted on [[Chol HaMoed]] would be permitted before Davening.</ref> | |||
