Yishtabach

Baruch Hu Kiddushah and Kriyas HaTayrah.

And only after Yishtabach you have a minion.

Why not? And this is a detail that is not so note.

Teaches the Kitzer, learns HaLocham.

That Kaddish goes after Yishtabach.

And if you don't have a minya by Yishtabach, then you can't have the Kaddish.

So what do you do? So it says, don't get yourself into a predicament.

Therefore, if you don't have a minya, then you can't have Yishtabach.

That equals Yitbarach.

And then the producing of all the different species of vegetation, Yishtabach.

Now we get on to the creation on day four of Yihim HaRot Berkei HaShamayim, which Baruch Hu puts into the the sky, all the various different planets, specifically the ones that govern us directly, the sun and the moon.

So these, all these planets that are used, or the sun and the moon, used to produce light.

meaning from when the time when you start the brachos for the kriya shema through the end of your private shemona esrei there should be no break because there's a concept in hilchos tefillah in general that we try to have the gu'ula of the ga'al yisrael which at the very end of the brachos kriya shema go immediately into the shemona esrei with no pauses with no delays And we always try to fulfill that requirement, the necessity.

So the whole middle portion of Psuket HaZimra, that are the sandwiched middle parts in between Yishtabach and Baruch Sha'amar, all that stuff you can say later if you don't have sufficient time to say it before.

So either skip around or we're going to explain what to say when, etc., But all those things could theoretically be skipped in the sake of trying to make sure that you daven Kriya Shema and the brachos and Shemona Esrei along with, or at least catching up to, the rest of the tzibur.

Moving on now to Tziv Zayin.

If you have sufficient time.

to say Baruch Sha'amar, and Ashrei, until the end of Ashrei, Dehainu Hashem, Kachol, Yolam V'ed, etc.

And then Yishtabach, those three portions, the beginning, the middle, crescendo part, which is the Ashrei, and then the end of Yishtabach.

So then, Yom Re'em, you should say those three things.

Baruch Shomer is the bracha which precedes the Pesuket Dezimra.

And Yishtabach becomes the bracha which concludes, they are bookends, brachos, It's prohibited to be Mavsik at the break with conversation, even in Hebrew.

And this is the parenthetical.

And similarly, anywhere where it's prohibited to be Mavsik, it's not only here, anytime when it would be prohibited to talk, even if it's in Hebrew.

However, when it comes to being Mavsik for the sake of a mitzvah, there is a distinction, there's a discrepancy between what's permitted during Pesuket Dezimra versus Kriya Shema and its brachos.

When it comes to Pesuket Dezimra, Even in the middle of the bracha of Yishtabach or the bracha of Baruch Sheomar, Yim Shomea is a bracha.

If you hear someone else making a bracha, like let's say the Chazan reciting one of the brachos, you can answer amen to that bracha.

If you hear that the rest of the Minyan is saying Shema, you can say along with them, the Pesach of Shema Yisrael.

That song, that shira, which was later incorporated to Tzuki Zimra, which is something I hope to get to tonight as to why.

But there are 18 times that Hashem's name is mentioned in the Az Yashar, okay? And then you turn the page, the Az Yashar to the Yishtabach, which again we'll talk about.

There are 18 phrases, 18 adjectives of how amazing Hashem is.

18 different descriptions of how amazing God is.

18 different, sorry, 15 different expressions of praise.

He's saying, don't look at me, don't praise me, praise Hashem.

And you look at this, Yishtabach, praise who? He encoded, possibly, arguably, his own name in the tefillah.

Look at this first letter of the second, third, fourth, and fifth word in Yishtabach.

So if you're running late, you should not skip Nishmas.

I believe that includes Shulchan Ad, you know, through all of Yishtabach, until the end of Yishtabach, I believe.

A person should make sure they don't skip that.

It's better to skip parts of Pesuki Dezimra, the Shabbos parts, additions of Pesuki Dezimra, than from skipping Nishmas, wishing everyone a wonderful day.

But even as it is, as a person individually participates in the davening, we don't just pick up the davening from yishtabach.

And the context of this is obviously circumstances where, let's say you're running late and you feel you need to catch up with the minyan.

Sometimes what people do, erroneously, they'll just start with Yishtabach.

That's a big problem.

Mishra Beruah says that Yishtabach is essential.

He had bracha achrona, that there's a takona of the Chachamim, and a takona of the Anshik Nesagdola.

There's a Haschala, that's Baruch Shomar.

There's the Emtzel, which is the Psuket Zimra.
