eli asked:

how come the Rif does not mention the halachos of saying shema early and shmonei esreh?

eli, jersey city,usa

The Kollel replies:

An excellent question for which I have not found a clear answer. Perhaps he holds like the Behag (cited by the Rosh 4:20) who rules like Rebbi Shimom ben Elazar (based on Rav Ashi's statement at the end of the Sugya), and prohibits saying Shemonah Esrei before Zman Kriyas Shema. Since there is no reason to think that one could say Shemona Esrei before Shema, he does not have to mention it.
