Question
Why do we say Yehi Rotzon...Sheyiboneh before Hodu?
Answer
The Yihi rotzon is the concluding passage of the sections concerning sacrifices and temple worship that are recited before pesukei d'zimra. Although learning the sacrificial portions is benificial, we pray that the temple should be speadily rebuilt so that we can be involved in the true temple worship.
