## Therefore, a person who needs to pray early in the morning in order to get to work should pray with a minyan that prays early according to the following schedule: say up to Birchot Kriyat Shema without Talit and Tefillin (except for Shaliach Tzibbur who should put on Talit and Tefillin before Yishtabach), when [[MeSheYakir]] arrives put on Talit and Tefillin, then continue from there. <Ref>[http://www.ou.org/webcast_kosher Rabbi Yisrael Belsky] (OU Kosher Webcast, min 19:30-28:30). Sh"t Igrot Moshe 4:6 writes that a person who needs to make it to work is considered an extenuating circumstance in which S"A 89:8 writes that one may pray Shacharit after Olot Hashachar.</ref> | ## Therefore, a person who needs to pray early in the morning in order to get to work should pray with a minyan that prays early according to the following schedule: say up to Birchot Kriyat Shema without Talit and Tefillin (except for Shaliach Tzibbur who should put on Talit and Tefillin before Yishtabach), when [[MeSheYakir]] arrives put on Talit and Tefillin, then continue from there. <Ref>[http://www.ou.org/webcast_kosher Rabbi Yisrael Belsky] (OU Kosher Webcast, min 19:30-28:30).

## If the choice is to pray with an early minyan that follow this system or pray later privately at one’s office one should pray earlier with a minyan. <Ref>[http://www.ou.org/webcast_kosher Rabbi Yisrael Belsky] (OU Kosher Webcast, min 19:30-28:30)</ref> | ## If the choice is to pray with an early minyan that follow this system or pray later privately at one’s office one should pray earlier with a minyan. <Ref>[http://www.ou.org/webcast_kosher Rabbi Yisrael Belsky] (OU Kosher Webcast, min 19:30-28:30), Peri Yitzchak 1:2, Sh"t Yaskil Avdi 5:10, Sh"t Minchat Yitzchak 9:10.

## However, if one feels that it’s just too dark and one can’t understand what the people are relying on to put on Tefillin so early one should say up to Baruch SheAmar before traveling and then pray at one’s office. <Ref>[http://www.ou.org/webcast_kosher Rabbi Yisrael Belsky] (OU Kosher Webcast, min 19:30-28:30)</ref> | ## However, if one feels that it’s just too dark and one can’t understand what the people are relying on to put on Tefillin so early one should say up to Baruch SheAmar before traveling and then pray at one’s office. <Ref>[http://www.ou.org/webcast_kosher Rabbi Yisrael Belsky] (OU Kosher Webcast, min 19:30-28:30)</ref> | ||

# If a person who is not in a rush to pray before sunrise is needed for a minyan that is praying before sunrise there is a dispute whether he is allowed to join or not. <ref> Rav Yosef Shalom Elyashiv quoted in Tefilla kihilchita page 78 and in Avnei Yashfe Tefilla page 169 says that although he can answer for their minyan he cannot pray with them. This is true even if he is the sixth one who would be praying (a minyan requires ten but a minimum of six praying at the time) and his refusal to pray would prevent there from being a minyan. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach in Halichot Shlomo 1:5-13 though ruled that if the refusal to join will prevent the minyan he may pray with them as long as it isn't on a consistent basis. </ref> | |||
