II. The Eighteen Benedictions: M. IV. 5; T. III. 18. Prayer when riding on an Ass

Prayer when riding on an Ass. M.IV. 5. Should one be riding on an ass let him dismount. If he cannot dismount let him turn his face. 2 And if he cannot turn his face let him direct his intention towards the most Holy Sanctuary. T. III. 18. If a man is riding on his ass, if he has anyone to hold the ass for him let him descend and pray; but if not let him pray where he is. Rabbi says: In either case he prays where he is, only he must direct his intention. 32:2 turn his face. i.e. to Jerusalem and the Temple.
