Question
The rule that one must establish a fixed place for their prayer, does it refer to choosing the synagogue where one prays, or must one also pray at a fixed time? If a person prays each prayer in a different fixed place, is it considered establishing a place for prayer? Must one also pray in the same synagogue on Shabbat where they pray during the week?
Answer
One can establish a place for each prayer separately. Likewise, one can establish a place for Shabbat prayers separately. It is sufficient to pray in a fixed place, even if one prays at different times.
Source
S' C Berachot 6b and we find a novelty in the commentary of Rabbeinu Yonatan that a fixed place is required for all 3 prayers.
