# One should not answer Amen to his own or anyone else’s Bracha of Ga’al Yisrael even though it really isn't an interruption between Geulah and Tefillah.<ref>Not only do Rashi (Brachot 45b) and the Rosh (ibid 7:11) write that one should answer Amen to Ga’al Yisrael and that it’s not a Hefsek, but the Tur (OC 66:7) even writes that it’s a Mitzvah! Nonetheless, the Beit Yosef (ibid) rules the one should refrain from doing so, as the Zohar says not to by Ga’al Yisrael. See further in [[Answering_Amen_to_Your_Own_Bracha]]</ref>
