Q. I am able to daven on Yom Kippur in a yeshiva where there will be hundreds of Bnei Torah and I will come b’n from the asara rishonim (first ten), and the davening is extremely beautiful etc. However to get there i will have to travel on Erev Yom Kippur which understandably is not so geshmak and it is a tircha and tiring to schlep with my luggage etc.
Should I travel there or rather daven in my current location where I will have more yishuv hadaas (calm) on Erev Yom Kippur?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that you should daven in the place were you learn Torah.
You should try your best to maintain your calm and enjoy the travelling by learning Torah and enjoying food that you like during that day. You have to wash and eat bread.
