ברכות סא,א

על כן יהיו דבריך מועטים we don’t know the effect of our words, so we should minimize our words by davening. The Rav Ibn Ezra on this pasuk goes out of his way in an extreme detail about saying קרובץ which stands for קול רנה וישועה באהלי צדיקים we know it as יוצרות yotzros because they used to say some in the middle of יוצר אור. He questions their validity and benefit of it as people don’t understand what they are saying In SA O’CH 68,1 this is discussed. The Mechaber says not to say it as it is a hefsak. The GRA follows this view. The RMA there brings from many rishonim including Tosfas that there is no problem when they are said for the benefit of the tzibur. Some say special yotzros Yom Tov by maariv called מערבית maarovis. The MB many times emphasizes its importance. When the first day Yom Tov falls on Shabbos, the second day we say the maarovis of the first day except the second they Pesach when the maarovis mentioned by Tosfas above talks about sefiras haaamer. The Tur is against saying it by krias shma but allows the saying by shmonei esrei as we say קרובץ לפורים. The RMA emphasizes the importance of saying it and one should not separate himself from the tzibur. The Shaar Ephraim, 13 (grand father of the Chacham Tzvi) explains that on purpose sometimes they wrote it a language which is hard to understand in order the goyim should not use it for their prayer. The Chavas Yair in his last teshuva, 238 says that saying it in the middle of chazoras hashatz is not hefsak as it is unnecessary to be motzei anyone. The Teshuva Meahava, (1,1) answers all the questionable misunderstood pieces. The Bach 68, tells a story where a Rav wanted to eliminate saying it and l’a he did not live out his years.
