Must Barukh She'amar and Yishtabach be recited specifically before prayer, and are they of Tannaitic origin?
Synopsis
The Mishkenot Yaakov argues that Barukh She'amar and Yishtabach are ancient Tannaitic enactments and should not be omitted; the Beur HaGra and most Poskim hold that these blessings were instituted only for pre-prayer recitation and cannot be said afterward.
