# 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 [[Shemoneh Esrei]], or (2) if one is in a place where one can’t concentrate because of distractions or sickness, one should say an abridged [[Shemoneh Esrei]] of the first and last three Brachot of [[Shemoneh Esrei]] and an alternate text for the middle of [[Shemoneh Esrei]] called Havinenu. <Ref>

Havinenu is made up of the first and last three Brachot of [[Shemoneh Esrei]] and an alternate text for the middle of [[Shemoneh Esrei]] . <Ref>
* The Mishna (Brachot 28b) quotes a dispute where Rabban Gamliel says that every day a person should say [[Shemoneh Esrei]], Rabbi Yehoshua says that one can say an abridged [[Shemoneh Esrei]], and Rabbi Akiva says that only one who is unfamiliar with the words of [[Shemoneh Esrei]] should say the abridged [[Shemoneh Esrei]]. The Gemara (29a) quotes a dispute as to the meaning of an abridged [[Shemoneh Esrei]], 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).
