Question
Hello, Every morning I travel to another city before the Shacharit prayer, and I pray there. I wanted to ask: A. Is it permissible to leave my city for a trip before the prayer, if my intention is to pray immediately upon arriving in that city? B. Is it permissible for me on the way, to save time, to recite all the Pesukei Dezimra up to "Yishtabach", and then when I arrive at the synagogue to put on the tallit and tefillin with a blessing between "Yishtabach" and "Yotzer Or", and join the minyan at "Barchu"? Thank you very much.
Answer
Hello and blessings
A. Ideally, one should not travel from city to city before prayer, unless you set out on the road before dawn. In such a case, you can rely on the later time of 'dawn'.
B. It is forbidden to put on tefillin or wrap in a tallit between Yotzer Or and Yishtabach to save time, and only someone who did not have a tallit and tefillin and started praying, and they arrived later, may put them on there post facto.
However, in a pressing situation, you may recite all the blessings and sacrifices and Pesukei Dezimra, except Baruch She'amar. When you arrive at your place, put on the tallit and tefillin, and recite Baruch She'amar, Ashrei, and Yishtabach.
