- If a person hears a Bracha made properly by a Jew there’s a obligation to answer Amen. (The obligation is based on the פסוק of כי שם יהוה אקרא הבו גדל לאלהינו). Cite error: Closing
</ref>missing for<ref>tag - The proper intent one should have when saying Amen is “ the Bracha being made is true and I believe in Hashem”. For a Bracha of a request or Tefillah one’s intent should include “it’s should be Hashem’s will that it comes true.” [1]
- Amen must be said within Toch Kedi Dibbur (2-3 seconds) of the Bracha or if one’s in a congregation one can say Amen until the majority of the congregation has finished saying Amen. [2]
- When hearing a Bracha over a microphone, if one’s in the same room one may answer Amen, if not don’t answer. [3]
Amen Yetomah
- If one is obligated in a certain Bracha and one didn’t hear the Bracha it’s forbidden to answer Amen (which is called in halacha Amen Yetomah). If one is not obligated in the mitzvah as long as one knows which Bracha is being made it’s permissible to answer Amen. Cite error: Closing
