==Earliest Times for Shacharit==
<nowiki>#</nowiki>The earliest time that one should put on <nowiki>[[Tallit|''tallit'']]</nowiki> is <nowiki>[[MeSheYakir|me'she'yakir]]</nowiki>, which is one hour (in <nowiki>[[Shaot Zmaniot]]</nowiki>) before <nowiki>''</nowiki><nowiki>[[HaNetz|hanetz]]</nowiki>.<nowiki>''</nowiki> Ashkenazim, if they must, may put on <nowiki>''</nowiki>tallit<nowiki>''</nowiki> as early as <nowiki>''</nowiki>alot hashachar<nowiki>''</nowiki>; yet they should not make a <nowiki>''</nowiki>bracha<nowiki>''</nowiki> until <nowiki>''</nowiki>me'she'yakir.<nowiki>''</nowiki> If one already made a <nowiki>''</nowiki>bracha<nowiki>''</nowiki> they should not repeat it, even if they made it before <nowiki>''</nowiki>alot hashachar<nowiki>''</nowiki>.<nowiki><ref>Shulchan Aruch 18:3 rules that the time to make the bracha on [[Tallit]] is from [[MeSheYakir]]. There is a dispute among the achronim about when exactly [[MeSheYakir]] is. Because of [[Safek Brachot LeHakel]], Halacha Brurah 18:6 one may not make the bracha earlier than a fifth of an hour (in [[Shaot Zmaniot]]) after [[Olot HaShachar]]. See Rema ibid. that one may make a bracha at alot hashachar. Mishna Brura ibid. 10 says that although one should be stringent like the Shulchan Aruch; however, we will not stop someone who does like the Rema. Aruch Hashulchan 18:9 paskens acc. to Rema. The Mishna Berura adds that even for one who does like the Rema he should wait with the bracha until mesheyakir. He adds that one who makes a bracha, even at night, need not make another one because there are rishonim who hold that one can make the bracha at night. </ref></nowiki>
<nowiki>#</nowiki>If one puts on Tzitzit before alot HaShachar, he should not recite a berakha until the proper time, and should feel the Tzitzit after making the berakha once the proper time arrives.<nowiki><ref>Rama 18:3 </ref></nowiki>
<nowiki>#</nowiki>If one begins to daven before misheyakir with Tallit and Tefillin on, one should wait to make the berakhot until between Yishtabach and Kaddish.<nowiki><ref>Rama OC 54:3, Piskei Teshuvot 30:1.</ref></nowiki>

<nowiki>===Earliest Time===</nowiki>
<nowiki>===Ideal Time===</nowiki>
<nowiki>#</nowiki>The ideal mitzvah is to start praying <nowiki>[[Shmoneh Esrei]]</nowiki> of <nowiki>[[Shacharit]]</nowiki> at <nowiki>[[Netz HaChama]]</nowiki> (sunrise). The practice of those who say Shemona Esrei of Shacharit at Netz is called <nowiki>''</nowiki>Vatikin<nowiki>''</nowiki>.<nowiki><ref>Gemara [[Brachot]] 26a writes the ideal time to pray [[Shacharit]] is at [[HaNetz HaChama]] and that was the practice of the [[Vatikin]] (those who fulfill the מצות early and in the proper time). This is codified by the Rambam ([[Tefillah]] 3:1), Rosh ([[Brachot]] 4:1), Tur and Shulchan Aruch 89:1 </ref></nowiki>
<nowiki>#</nowiki>If a person can either da<nowiki><span id="netz"></span></nowiki>ven at Netz without a minyan or later with a minyan, according to Ashkenazim one may daven at Netz if one regularly davens at Netz.<nowiki><ref>Biur Halacha 58 s.v. umitzvah</ref></nowiki> According to Sephardim one should daven with a minyan later unless one will pray with kavana.<nowiki><ref>Yalkut Yosef 89:19</ref></nowiki>

#The ''bracha'' of ''yotzer ohr'' may not be said before ''misheyakir''. If one is ''davening'' before ''misheyakir'' he should say ''krias shema'' with the ''brachot'', skip over the ''bracha'' of ''yotzer ohr'', and say it after ''shemoneh esrei'', in the proper ''zman.'' One who accidentally said ''yotzer ohr'' before ''misheyakir'' should not repeat it.
#The ''bracha'' of ''yotzer ohr'' may not be said before ''misheyakir''.<ref>Mishna Brurah 58:17. Piskei Teshuvot (58:10) notes that some are lenient when it is unavoidable. However, Biur Halakha (s.v. Zeman Kriat Shema) notes that this discussion may be irrelevant for men if they are going to only say Pesukei D’zimra before misheyakir and say the bracha on Tzitzit and Tefillin before Yotzer Or, and certainly it is preferable to not begin davening until one can make the bracha on Tzitzit and Tefillin.</ref> If one is ''davening'' before ''misheyakir'' he should say ''krias shema'' with the ''brachot'', skip over the ''bracha'' of ''yotzer ohr'', and say it after ''shemoneh esrei'', in the proper ''zman.''
