By Rabbi Berach Steinfeld
There are many who travel often and do not want to say the bracha of Tefillas Haderech on a daily basis because there may not be a chiyuv to say it if they travel in populated areas. There is an eitzah to say Tefillas Haderech in the Shemoneh Esrei in the bracha of Shema Koleinu right before they travel. In this way there is no problem of possibly saying a bracha L’vatala.
The following question arises when a person is not sure whether or not he will travel that day. There is a possibility that he might travel. May he add this tefillah in Shema Koleinu or should he not add a possible unnecessary tefillah in Shemoneh Esrei?
