# If one forgot whether one said the Birchot HaTorah (and had not yet said Ahavat Olam), Sephardim should not make a bracha, but Ashkenazim can make the Asher Bachar Banu bracha. <ref>Sephardim do not make a bracha because it is a [[safek brachot lehakel]] since it is a dispute in the rishonim whether Birchot HaTorah are Deoritta (Ramban) or Derabanan (Rambam). This is also the opinion of (Yalkut Yosef Hilchot Pesukei Dezimrah 47:2 pg 60). Ashkenazim can make the Asher Bachar Banu bracha as the Mishna Brurah 47:1 says in the name of the Shagat Aryeh. </ref>

# Some say that one can interrupt between the brachot and the learning, but it is correct not to do so, and so the practice is the say the Parshat [[Birkat Cohanim]] right after the brachot. <ref> Shulchan Aruch 47:9. Tosfot Brachot 11b s.v. Shkevar in name of the Ri, Rabbenu Yonah 5b, and Mordechai 31 hold an interruption is not a problem. Rambam (as understood by Bet Yosef) holds one may not make an interruption. Magen Avraham 47:8 says that one can say these psukim even before daylight unlike the Maharshal who says one does not read psukim of [[Birkat Cohanim]] at night. </ref>
