What should one pray when traveling in a place with dangerous animals or robbers?
Synopsis
When traveling in a place threatened by wild animals or robbers, one prays a very brief prayer: 'The needs of Your people are numerous' (Tzarkei Amcha Meurabim). One does not need to recite the first three blessings or the final three. Upon arriving at a settlement when the danger has passed, one must return and pray the full eighteen blessings.
