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'']] after ''[[HaNetz|hanetz.]]''<ref>Shulchan Aruch O.C. 18:3. 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> 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>Rama O.C. 18:3, Mishna Brurah 18:10, Piskei Teshuvot 30:1 </ref> When making the ''bracha'', one should feel the ''tzitzit.''<ref>Rama 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 Brurah 18:10</ref>
