Where in the prayer service should a latecomer who has not heard Barchu perform his Poreis al Sh'ma?
Synopsis
The Mishnah Berurah records two customs: (1) some communities perform Poreis al Sh'ma after the silent Amidah (before the repetition), and (2) some perform it after Kaddish Titkabal. The Taz notes the practical concern of people crossing in front of those still praying.
