Is it permitted (and advisable) to eat the morning bread (pat shachairit) before going to the beit midrash?
Synopsis
The Mechaber permits eating the morning bread before going to the beit midrash and calls it 'good' to make this a habit. The Biur Halakhah notes the Tur implies only a small amount should be eaten. The Taz and Magen Avraham record a view that the traditional pat shachairit required special grain and that the wise avoided it, though the Magen Avraham dismisses this as baseless.
