Kriyat Shema: Difference between revisions

# If one is in extenuating circumstances so that one will not be able to say Kriyat Shema (even just to say the first פסוק of Shema and the following one until Ad Livavecha) after MeSheYakir with any Kavana (proper intent) because one will be traveling, one may say it after Olot Hashachar. <Ref>S”A 58:3. Sh”t Ish Matzliach 1:15 writes that nowadays when we travel in cars, trains, and airplanes this leniency doesn’t apply. However, the Halacha Brurah (Birur Halacha 58:10) writes that this halacha is still applicable to those who have to catch a plane very early and will not be able to say Shema with Kavana (and also it’ll be difficult to put on Talit and Tefillin at that time). </ref>

# Even in extenuating circumstances one may not make a Bracha upon putting on Talit and Tefillin any time before MeSheyakir; rather one should put on Talit and Tefillin without a Bracha and after MeSheyakir has arrived one may make the Brachot. <Ref>Mishna Brurah 58:16, Halacha Brurah 58:9 </ref>

# The latest time to say Kriyat Shema is the end of the third hour of the day (in Shaot Zmaniot). <Ref>S”A 58:1 </ref>
