# 1379 It’s About Time

Mishna Berura (299: 1) rules that you can wash for shalosh seudos until a half an hour before nightfall. Shaarei Tzion (ibid. 2) explains that this is due that the mitzva overrides the prohibition of eating after the shekia.

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that there are a number of variables that one must consider to obtain a correct answer, such as location and time of the year. In this location during Tamuz, it should be closer to thirty minutes after the shekiah.
