• It is preferable to recite the Tefilat Haderech immediately after the recitation of another blessing. [The technical Halachic reason for this instruction is beyond the parameters of this bulletin.] Therefore, if possible, one should first take a bite to eat or have a drink, or use the rest-room, and then after saying the appropriate after-blessing the Tefilat Haderech is recited.
• If it isn’t an inconvenience, the vehicle should be stopped and the Tefilat Haderech should be recited while standing.
• Tefilat Haderech is only fully recited on the first day of a journey. On all subsequent days, the prayer should still be recited but G-d’s name should be omitted from its conclusion. In fact, it is Chabad custom to thus recite the Tefilat Haderech every day until returning home, even when going for an extended stay or vacation.
