Question
Is the Yizkor prayer (recited on Yom Kippur, Shemini Atzeret, the seventh day of Passover, Shavuot) said specifically before the Musaf prayer, or can it also be recited before Shacharit or after Musaf?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
Certainly, there is a reason why the order was established to say it after the Torah reading and before Musaf.
However, this timing is not mandatory, so if a person is late to prayer and there is a reason to say it at another time, it is permissible.
