Hi Rabbi, Is it okay to eat before Shacharit? Some mornings I get really hungry before going to shul and if I don’t eat something my stomach might start making noises in shul which gets me distracted and messes up my kavanah and also makes me feel embarrassed if others hear it. What’s the Halacha regarding eating before shul on weekdays and is it different on Shabbat when shul starts later and the Friday night meal could be well over 12 hours before Shacharit? Also do you have any tips to stay full for hours straight especially before attending a 2-3 hour Shiur? Thanks
