Does twilight shvut leniency require great urgency (dochak gadol) or does any form of pressing need suffice?
Synopsis
The Mechaber mentions 'tirud v'nichpaz' (preoccupied and rushing) as the standard for dochak. The Mishnah Berurah and Biur Halacha (citing the Gra) clarify that this phrase is borrowed from Rambam and applies specifically to significant duress, comparable in weight to a mitzvah.
