# The Ashkenazic minhag outside Israel is not to do Birkat Cohanim except at Mussaf of [[Yom Tov]] because Birkat Cohanim should be done when people are relaxed and not bothered by work. <Ref>Rama 128:44 writes that the Ashkenazic minhag outside Israel is not to do Birkat Cohanim except at Mussaf of [[Yom Tov]] because Birkat Cohanim should be done when people are relaxed and not bothered by work. Kitzur S"A 100:1 agrees. For other reasons to explain the Ashkenazi minhag see Bet Yosef 128 quoting the Sefer Chasidim, Sh”t Zera Emet 3:13, and Sh”t Bet Efraim 6 </ref> Throughout Jewish history, some have made a great effort to change this minhag (in order to fulfill this biblical Mitzvah) and were unsuccessful. <Ref>Aruch HaShulchan 128:64 </ref> | # The Ashkenazic minhag outside Israel is not to do Birkat Cohanim except at Mussaf of [[Yom Tov]] because Birkat Cohanim should be done when people are relaxed and not bothered by work. <Ref>Rama 128:44 writes that the Ashkenazic minhag outside Israel is not to do Birkat Cohanim except at Mussaf of [[Yom Tov]] because Birkat Cohanim should be done when people are relaxed and not bothered by work.
