- One should stand when answering Barchu, however, one may sit after one said Barchu even before the Shaliach Tzibbur repeated the Barchu out loud.[1]
- According to Ashkenazim, the accepted minhag is to bow during Barchu. [2] According to Sephardim, many have the minhag to bow slightly while answering Barchu and have what to rely on, however it's preferable not to bow. [3]
- If one continued Seudat Shelishit into the night (past Shkiah) should still say Retzay in benching, even if one answered Barchu. However, if one already said Maariv, one shouldn’t say Retzsay in benching. [4]
- If one is saying Mariv/Arvit to oneself some say that one should say a Britta (see end) in place of Barchu. [5] However, many hold that one shouldn't say it with Hashem's actual name but rather one should say Hashem. [6]The text of the Britta is: אמר רבי עקיבא חיה אחת עומדת ברקיע ושמה ישראל וחקוק על מצחה ישראל עומדת באמצע הרקיע ואומרת "ברכו את ה' המבורך" וכל גדודי מעלה עונים ואומרים "ברוך ה' המבורך לעולם ועד" .
