When Is the Earliest and Latest Time to Pray?: Difference between revisions

#The earliest time that one should put on [[Tallit|''tallit'']] is [[MeSheYakir|''misheyakir'']] before ''[[HaNetz|hanetz.]]''<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 18:3</ref> Ashkenazim, if they must, may put on ''tallit'' as early as ''alot hashachar''; yet they should not make a ''bracha'' until ''me'she'yakir.''<ref>Rema O.C. 18:3; Mishna Berura ibid. 10 </ref> When making the ''bracha'', one should feel the ''tzitzit.''<ref>Rema O.C. 18:3</ref> If one already made a ''bracha'' they should not repeat it, even if they made it before ''alot hashachar''.<ref>Mishna Berura 18:10</ref>  

#One who is in a pressing situation and must ''daven'' before the ''zman -'' for if he does not, he will totally miss ''zman tefillah'', may put on ''tallit'' and ''tefillin'' before ''alot hashachar''.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 30:3; Ishei Yisrael 18:11</ref> In such a scenario, their ''brachot'' should not be recited until ''misheyakir''.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 18:3; Rema ibid.</ref> If one makes this ''bracha'' during ''pesukei dezimra'', it should be said between paragraphs.<ref>Mishna Berura 51:8 that it is permissible to say birchas hodaah during pesukei d'zimra. Shulchan Aruch 53:3 is clear that one can make a bracha on tallit and tefillin during pesukei d'zimra. Biur Halacha 51:4 s.v. Tzarich That it is better to wait for between paragraphs. Here too, there is no rush. Ishei Yisrael 16:6,7; ibid. 18:10,11</ref> If ''misheyakir'' happens between the end of ''pesukei d'zimra'' and ''yishtabach'', one should wait to make the ''bracha'' until after ''yishtabach''.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 53:3</ref> However, the ''shliach tzibbur'' should make the ''bracha'' before ''yishtabach''.<ref>Rema O.C. 53:3. Mishna Berura ibid. 8 says that if he only gets the tallit and tefillin after yishtabach he may make the bracha at that time as well. Would be the same here if misheyakir happens during yishtabach. (obviously, this is not so common)</ref> Once the ''shaliach tzibbur'' starts the ''kaddish'' after ''yishtabach'' one can no longer make a ''bracha'' on the ''tallit'' until after ''shemoneh esrei''.<ref>Rema O.C. 54:3; Mishna Berura ibid. 13</ref> The ''bracha'' on ''tefillin'' may be said between the paragraphs of ''birchot kriat shema''.<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 66:2; Rema ibid.; Mishna Berura 54:13. Ishei Yisrael 18:11</ref>
