Question
I made a mistake in the morning prayer and immediately after putting on the tefillin, I started with Baruch She'amar and completed it, without saying anything from the beginning of the prayer (neither the blessing on washing hands nor the blessing on the Torah, etc.). What should I have done: go back and complete everything in order and then skip Baruch She'amar, or pray without blessings and complete them at the end of the prayer?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
If you intended not to fulfill the obligation of the blessings in the prayer, you can recite all the blessings.
However, without explicit intention, you should not recite 'Elokai Neshamah' and the blessings on the Torah.
