# After the fact, if one did interrupt during Pesukei Dezimrah with talking unrelated to prayer, according to Sephardim, one doesn’t repeat the bracha (Baruch Sh’amar) again.  [According to Ashkenazim, one has what to rely on to repeat Baruch Sh’amar.] <Ref>  Sh”t Ginat Veradim O”C klal 1:52, Sh”t Pardes HaGadol 5, Sh”t Zechur L’yitchak O”C pg 11d, Pri Megadim A”A 51:3 concludes with a Sarich Iyun, Mishna Brurah 51:4 all hold an interruption forfeits the bracha of Baruch Sh’amar and one should repeat it, Halacha Brurah in Birur Halacha 51:3 brings the Rashbetz in name of the Geonim that speech isn’t an interruption to answer a greeting of anyone or to greet someone who is due respect during Pesukei Dezimrah even between Baruch Sh’amar and the zemirot; and doesn’t effect the bracha, so holds Perach Soshan O”C klal 1:15, Korban Esheh O”C 2, Taharat HaMayim (Shuri Tahara Merechet 40:47), Sh”t Yabea Omer O”C 6:5(3).

# When one is saying Pesukei Dezimrah, even right after Baruch Sh’amar before the zemirot, and even during Baruch Sh’amar before the bracha part, one can answer amen after a Brachot he hears from his friend.  <Ref>  See footnote 12 regarding Amen during Pesukei Dezimrah, Concerning answering amen during the beginning of Baruch Sh’amar, one can answer since one still didn’t begin the bracha with Hashem’s name; so holds Kaf Hachaim of Rabbi Chaim Palagi 18:4, Kesher Gudal 7:29,30, Mishna Brurah 51:2, Ben Ish Chai Vayigash 9 allows one to answer but afterwards one should begin Baruch Sh’amar again. Yet Kaf Hachaim of Rabbi Chaim Sofer (51:11) and Halichot Olam (Vayigash 4) say one shouldn’t repeat the beginning of Baruch Sh’amar. </ref>

# When one is in between the zemirot, one can interrupt just one would by in between brachot of Brachot Shema, meaning one can answer anyone’s greeting or greet a person who is due respect. When one is middle of one of the zemirot, one can greet someone who one has to fear such as one’s parents or Rabbi and one can answer the greeting of one who is due respect. Yet some hold, nowadays, when no one is offended by not being greeted one shouldn’t interrupt.  <Ref>  S”A 51:5 based on Tashbetz 204, Orchot Chaim (Meah Brachot 22), Kolbo 4, and Avudraham (Tefilah shel Chol) rules that the laws of greeting that apply to Kriyat Shema (S”A 66:1) also apply to Pesukei Dezimrah. Nonetheless, Sefer Chinuch (42) says since nowadays no one is concerned with be greeted for respect and it’s sufficient that one stands for them, one shouldn’t interrupt at all. So holds Mishna Brurah 51:12 and Halacha Brurah 61:4 against the Sh”t Tzitz Eliezer 2:1(3). Additionally, Kennest Gedola (66 Hagahot HaTur) limits the permit to greet to someone one hasn’t seen recently and not greeting him will cause hatred; another limition is that it’s only permitted to interrupt outside of shul. Many Achronim bring this as halacha including Magan Avrham 66:1, Eliyah Rabba 66:2, Solet Belula 66:2, Shalmei Tzibbur 97b, Mishna Brurah 66:2, Kaf HaChaim 66:3, yet, Halacha Brurah (Shar Tzion 51:26) argues since Shulchan Aruch quotes the Mishna without limiting the permit to a shul, it seems that he doesn’t hold of this chiluk. </ref>

# Sephardim should answer only the first five amen’s of a sephardic Kaddish and Ashkenazim the first three amen’s of an Ashkenazic Kaddish. Barich Hu shouldn’t be answered. Amen Yehe Sheme Raba can be answered up to De’amiran Be’alma. <Ref>  Halacha Brurah 51:14 and Piskei Teshuva 51:14 define the part of Kaddish that one can answer as the first five amen’s however, the amen’s of titkabal, yehe shlama, al Yisrael, and oseh shalom shouldn’t be answered based on Magan Avraham 66:36 who says these amen’s aren’t an obligation but a Minhag. So holds the Ben Ish Chai (Vayigash 10, Shemot 6), Kaf Hachaim of Rabbi Chaim Sofer 66:23, Dvar Yehoshua 2:7, and Sh”t Yabea Omer 1:5, 6:8. However there is what to rely on to answer these amen’s as in Sh”t Igrot Moshe 4:14, and Sh”t Shoel VeNishal 4:26 that all amen’s can be answered during Pesukei Dezimrah.

Concerning the 2nd amen of Kaddish Meorer Yishenim 21, Sh”t Igrot Moshe 4:14 say is just a minhag and shouldn’t be said, but Dvar Yehoshua 2:7 in name of Arizal this amen is of great importance, so holds Sh”t Yabea Omer 5:7(3). Concerning answering Barich Hu, Piskei Teshuva 51:14, Yalkut Yosef (Kriyat Shema U’Birchoteha footnote 18 pg 116-7) hold one shouldn’t say Barich Hu in name of Sh”t Levushei Mordechi 2:10, Sh”t Igrot Moshe 2:16, Sh”t Dvar Yeshua 2:7, Sh”t Tzitz Eliezer 11:3, Sh”t Az Nidabru 4:37.</ref>

# One can answer the following in Kedusha: “Kadosh Kadosh…”, “Baruch Kavod…”, and “Yimloch Hashem…”, but not the entire kedusha.  <Ref> S”A 66:3 says one in kiryat Shema one can interrupt for Kaddish, kedusha and baruchu. S”A 125:1 holds one doesn’t say this even in a place where you can interrupt, even though the minhag is like the Arizal (Shaar Kavanot 3 of Chazarat Amida pg 39a) to say the entire passage regularly, yet in a place where one can’t interrupt one shouldn’t say the entire passage, so holds Kaf Hachaim of Rabbi Chaim Sofer 66:18 in name of some Achronim. Whether one should say Yimloch by the brachot of Kriyat Shema is a dispute of the Achronim and the majority opinion is that one shouldn’t say it. (see Hilchot Kriyat Shema Section II, Halacha _). Seemingly, the same law should apply to Pesukei Dezimrah since the Poskim compare the two for interruptions even though Pesukei Dezimrah is different that one can answer amen of brachot. Nonetheless, Birur Halacha 51:8 argues that Yimloch can be said since it’s a pasuk of praise that already instituted in Pesukei Dezimrah in the first halelluya. Imri David Padir 51 allows one to answer the entire passage of Kedusha since it’s praise but the Birur Halacha rejects it since the basic obligation to say it is a dispute between the S”A and Arizal. So holds Halichot Shlomo 6:11 in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach, Sh”t Yabea Omer 1:5 in name of Sh”t Kiryat Chana David 2:41, but Rav Po’alim 4:4 is strict</ref>

# One can’t answer the Kedusha of Brachat Yotzer or Uva Letzion.  <Ref>  Sh”t Otzrot Yosef 4:4. There’s a dispute in the rishonim if the kedusha in Yotzer and Uva Lesion is a Dvar Sh’bekedusha. [The following hold it’s a Dvar Shebekedusha: Rav Amram Goan hashalem 1:15 pg 33) in name of Rav Tzemach Goan by Kedushat Uva Lesion and Rav Saadiah Goan by Kedushat Yotzer, Shibolei HaLeket Brachot 13 in name of many Goenim, Piskei Riaz (Megilah 3:3), Sh”t Rashba (1:7,5:9),Rabbenu Avraham Ben HaRambam testifies that his father retracted from his ruling (Tefilah 7:17) and held one can say it privately, while the following hold it can be said by an individual: Ravya 1:2,66, Talmedei Rabbenu Yonah 13a in name of some Geonim, Hagahot Maymonit Tefilah 7:90 in name of Rashi, Sh”t Maharam 143, Mordechai Brachot 69, Rosh (Brachot 3:18, Megilah 3:7), Tur 59, Orchot Chaim (Din Kedusha Meyushav 1), Ritva Megilah 23b. The S”A 59:3 writes that some say an individual can say it and some say not to and one should be concerned for this opinion and say it with the Torah reading tune. The Rama adds that the minhag is to say it as an individual.] Therefore, says the Otzot Yosef, since it remains a matter of safek we don’t interrupt in order to say it, just as the Bet Yosef 56 says in Pesukei Dezimrah one shouldn’t say the entire line of Yehe Sheme Raba because of the dispute. </ref>

# One can’t interrupt for the Vayavor and the 13 midot, [but those who have the Minhag to say it, have what to rely on].  <Ref>  Sh”t Otzrot Yosef 4:4. There’s a dispute in the Rishonim if Vayavor is a Dvar Sh’bekedusha and needs to be said with a minyan. [Siddur of Rav Amram Goan 2 pg 79b, Sh”t Rabbenu Yosef Ibn Magash 193, Siddur of Rashi 545, Machsor Vitri 271, Or Zaruh 2:416, Hagahot Ashuri (end of taanit), Sh”t Mahariv 132, Orchot Chaim (Hilchot Sheni VeChamishi 2) hold it requires a minyan, but the Tur 565 holds it can be said without a minyan. (That is the explanation of the Tur according to Avudraham (siddur tefilat taaniot pg 88a) and Bet Yosef, against the Taz 565:5.)The S”A 131:6 rules that one can’t say it without a minyan unless it’s with the tune.] Therefore, it seems that Vayavor is a Dvar Sh’bekedusha and just like kaddish it could be answered in Pesukei Dezimrah. However, says Sh”t Otzrot Yosef 4:4, because of the opinions that say it’s not a dvar shebekedusha (such as the Tur and Talmedei Rabbenu Yonah) and the opinion that even divrei kedusha can’t be answered in Pesukei Dezimrah (Maharam), as well as the fact that the 13 midot are in the topic of praise but request, and that it may be an obligation but just a minhag the 13 midot are not to be answered in Pesukei Dezimrah.  So holds Sh”t Shevet Halevi 9:1, Sh”t Kinyan Torah 4:9. yet the Mateh Efraim 619:37, Sh”t besel hachochma 5:1, and halichot Shlomo 6:17 in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach are lenient. </ref>

# One should answer only the first three words of Modim Derabanan, “Modim Anachnu Lach” and the rest one should just recite it mentally. However, those who have the minhag to answer the entire paragraph may answer it. <Ref> Halacha Brurah 51:18. Bet Yosef (beginning of 66) quotes Rabbeinu Yonah 13b who says one should wait and not answer Modim derabanan which would be a big interruption, so holds the Rabbi Avraham Aleshivli (father of the Ritva) 13b pg 298, Trumat HaDeshen 2, Avurdraham brings a dispute whether one should say just “Modim” or the entire paragraph. The S”A 66:3 says concerning Brachot Kriyat Shema to answer just “Modim” even in the middle of a paragraph. The Achronim explain the S”A as meaning one should answer the first three words. So comments Levush 66, Lechem Chamudot, Taz 66:3, Olat Tamid 66:8, Magan Avraham 66:6, Kaf Hachaim 66:22, Mishna Brurah 66:20. Seemingly the same should apply to Pesukei Dezimrah. Even though by Amen Pesukei Dezimrah is more lenient (Bet Yosef beginning of 51), Modim is just a Minhag [so hold Madeni Yacov Brachot 3:18(70), Tzlach ibid., Yeshuot Yacov 109:4, Yabea Omer O”C 4:21(4)] and not like Amen. Yet, the Eliyah Rabba 66:5 implies from Trumat Hadeshen 13 who says one can answer the first pasuk of shema with the tzibbur during Pesukei Dezimrah, that one can answer Modim Derabanan during Pesukei Dezimrah. However, argues Rav Ovadya Yosef in Yabea Omer 6:4(4), the Trumat Hadeshen is brought in the bet Yosef 65e and still the S”A 65:2 rules that one can not interrupt with shema even during Pesukei Dezimrah. Therefore the only reason  the Eliyah Rabbah holds one can say Modim Derabanan during Pesukei Dezimrah is because he holds against the S”A by the first pasuk of shema (end of 65). Thus, Yabea Omer 6:4 holds since we hold like S”A by the first pasuk of Shema, here too we should hold not to say Modim Derabanan. Like the Eliyah Rabbah so Aruch HaShulchan 51:6, Kesot HaShulchan (Badei Shulchan 18:8 implied from Shulchan Aruch HaRav 66:5), Sh”t Minchat Yitzchak 9:8, and Mishna Brurah 51:8 hold one can answer the entire Modim Derabanan. However, Yabea Omer 6:4 (4) explains that these achronim are following their opinion that one can interrupt Pesukei Dezimrah to say the first pasuk of Shema.  Siddur Bet Ovad (Dinei Pesukei Dezimrah 8), Sh”t Zechur LeYitchak Harari 7:5, Darchei Chaim 45a, Sh”t Yabea Omer 6:4 say to only say the first three words.    </ref>

However, those who have the minhag to answer the entire paragraph may answer it. <Ref> Halacha Brurah 51:18. Bet Yosef (beginning of 66) quotes Rabbeinu Yonah 13b who says one should wait and not answer Modim derabanan which would be a big interruption, so holds the Rabbi Avraham Aleshivli (father of the Ritva) 13b pg 298, Trumat HaDeshen 2, Avurdraham brings a dispute whether one should say just “Modim” or the entire paragraph. The S”A 66:3 says concerning Brachot [[Kiryat Shema]] to answer just “Modim” even in the middle of a paragraph. The Achronim explain the S”A as meaning one should answer the first three words. So comments Levush 66, Lechem Chamudot, Taz 66:3, Olat Tamid 66:8, Magan Avraham 66:6, Kaf Hachaim 66:22, Mishna Brurah 66:20. Seemingly the same should apply to Pesukei Dezimrah. Even though by Amen Pesukei Dezimrah is more lenient (Bet Yosef beginning of 51), Modim is just a Minhag [so hold Madeni Yacov Brachot 3:18(70), Tzlach ibid., Yeshuot Yacov 109:4, Yabea Omer O”C 4:21(4)] and not like Amen. Yet, the Eliyah Rabba 66:5 implies from Trumat Hadeshen 13 who says one can answer the first pasuk of shema with the tzibbur during Pesukei Dezimrah, that one can answer Modim Derabanan during Pesukei Dezimrah. However, argues Rav Ovadya Yosef in Yabea Omer 6:4(4), the Trumat Hadeshen is brought in the bet Yosef 65e and still the S”A 65:2 rules that one can not interrupt with shema even during Pesukei Dezimrah. Therefore the only reason  the Eliyah Rabbah holds one can say Modim Derabanan during Pesukei Dezimrah is because he holds against the S”A by the first pasuk of shema (end of 65). Thus, Yabea Omer 6:4 holds since we hold like S”A by the first pasuk of Shema, here too we should hold not to say Modim Derabanan. Like the Eliyah Rabbah so Aruch HaShulchan 51:6, Kesot HaShulchan (Badei Shulchan 18:8 implied from Shulchan Aruch HaRav 66:5), Sh”t Minchat Yitzchak 9:8, and Mishna Brurah 51:8 hold one can answer the entire Modim Derabanan. However, Yabea Omer 6:4 (4) explains that these achronim are following their opinion that one can interrupt Pesukei Dezimrah to say the first pasuk of Shema.  Siddur Bet Ovad (Dinei Pesukei Dezimrah 8), Sh”t Zechur LeYitchak Harari 7:5, Darchei Chaim 45a, Sh”t Yabea Omer 6:4 say to only say the first three words.    </ref>
# Sephardim shouldn’t say the first pasuk of Shema with the tzibbur, rather one should cover one’s eyes and continue to read Pesukei Dezimrah. Ashkenazim should answer the first pasuk of shema.  <Ref>  The Rosh 20b writes that one should say the first pasuk when the tzibbur says shema. The Trumat HaDeshen 13 says one shouldn’t interrupt for shema since he’s not sitting idly but then concludes that one can interrupt Pesukei Dezimrah (and brachot shema) to accept the yoke of heaven. The Bet Yosef (65e) quotes this and in S”A 65:2 rules one can’t interrupt to say shema from baruch sh’amar and on. The Eliyah Rabbah asks on the S”A from the Trumat HaDeshen that one should be allowed in Pesukei Dezimrah to say shema. But the Bach and Taz explain that the Trumat HaDeshen’s conclusion was just a possible rejection. However the Bach says that the Minhag Ashkenaz was to say Shema, and the Taz says it’s only not allowed in Birchot Shema [In line with the Taz, Meorei Or Bear Sheva 22b say the acronym “Bet Shin” in S”A really meant Brachot Shema not Baruch Sh’amar] Ashkenazic Achronim rule like the Taz, including the Perisha 51:6, Atret Zekenim 65:2, Magan Avraham 51:4, Mor Ukesiah 65:3, Chaye Adam in Nishmat Adam 20:1, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 65e, Aruch HaShulchan 65:6, Mishna Brurah 51:8, Derech hachaim, Kesot HaShulchan 18:2, Shevet Halevi 1:40(2) However the simple ruling of S”A that one can’t interrupt in Pesukei Dezimrah is explained and held by Sephardic Achronim including Mamar Mordechi 65e, Chida in Kesher Gadol 7:32, Zechur LeYitchak Harari 7, Yafa Lelev 1:132(7), Siddur Bet Ovad (Pesukei Dezimrah 2), Chesed LeAlafim 51:2, Kaf HaChaim 51:6 ,Halacha Brurah 51:19. </ref>

# One who hears thunder or sees a rainbow, can interrupt for these brachot because they are a passing mitzvah.  <Ref>  Rosh Brachot 2:5 agrees with Rabbenu Yonah who holds that during Brichot Shema one can interrupt for Dvar Shebekedusha. The Maharam (quoted by the Rosh) doesn’t allow one to interrupt praise of Hashem with a different praise. The Tur and S”A 66:3 holds like the Rosh. Magan Avraham (66:5) explains since one can interrupt for respect of person, how much more so for Hashem, thus one can interrupt for the Bracha of thunder. Erech Hashulchan 66e, Magen Giborim 66, Bear Heitev 66, Shulchan Aruch HaRav 66:4, Yeshuot Yacov 66, Tosfot Rabbi Akiva Eiger (Brachot 2 beginning), Mamar Mordechai 66:2, Solet Belulah 66:3, Aruch Hashulchan 66:6, Tiferet Yisrael Brachot 2:8, Sh”t Machat Yado O”C 1:7, Darchei Chaim 49a, Torat Yekutiel 35, Sh”t Yabea Omer 8:6(3), Sh”t Otzrot Yosef 4:5. However, Bechor Shor argues it’s only for respect of people because they would feel degraded, but for Hashem’s respect one doesn’t interrupt since it’s not degrading as one’s in middle of saying Hashem’s praise. So holds Mateh Yehuda 59:1, Chida in Machzik Bracha 66:3, Kesher Gadol 9:15, Shalmei Tzibbur 86a, Nahar Shalom 66:2, Minchat Aharon 12:4, 13:30, Sh”t Zechur LeYitchak 7:3, Siddur Bet Ovad Brachat Kriyat Shema 6, Meorei Or (Bear Sheva) 26b, Kaf Hachaim Palagi 18:8.

Similarly, Sh”t Yabea Omer 7:9(2) allows one to stop and listen if one can’t find another minyan to hear Kriyat Torah. </ref>
# If one was called for an aliyah by name one should make the brachot and read along with the bal koreh as usual. If one wasn’t called by name he should refuse the aliyah by signaling. If one’s the only Cohen or levi there he can take the aliyah even if not called by name. One should finish the pasuk he’s in but not the paragraph unless one is close to the end. One shouldn’t ask the shaliach Tzibbur to say a mesheberach.  <Ref>  S”A 66:4 rules that one can’t interrupt kiryat shema to get aliyah even if called by name or he’s the only cohen. Magan Avraham says by Pesukei Dezimrah a cohen can get the aliyah. So holds Olat Tamid 66:13, Eliyah Raba 66:4, Kesher Gudal 11:23, Siddur Yavetz Siach Yitzchak 109b,  Kaf Hachaim Palagi 15b:7, Sh”t Zechur LeYitzchak 7 pg 8d,  Sh”t Veyosef Avraham 35 pg 220a, Tehila LeDavid 32b, Aruch Hashulchan 135:14, Sh”t Ish Matzliach 22. Siddur Bet Ovad(Pesukei Dezimrah 15) and Pri Megadim A”A 135:6 explain that this where he’s the only Cohen. Shaari Efraim 1:1 says not to ask for a misheberach. Yalkut Yosef 1 pg 73 says a Yisrael called by name is allowed just like an only cohen. Since someone who gets an Aliyah must read along with the bal koreh (S”A 141:2) so too in our case, so holds Shaari Efraim ibid and Tehilah Ledavid 282:1, against Siddur Bet Ovad (Pesukei Dezimrah 16) and Kaf Chaim Sofer 66:27 who say not to read along. Since it’s a issue of Bracha Levatalah if one doesn’t read along one should read along. See Sh”t Yabea Omer 7:8(3), Yechave Daat 4:11(58)</ref>

# If one gets the maftir Aliyah, he should say the Haftorah with Brachot. <Ref>  Rama 284:4 rules that the one who gets maftir must do haftorah unless he doesn’t know how to read it as the Rivash holds it’s necessary and not effective after the fact. Sh”t Yabea Omer 7:8(22-3), Tehila Ledavid 282:3 and Sh”t Ayin Eliezer O”C 29 hold one should read the hatorah in our case. However Sh”t Kinat Soferim 122 and Kesot Hashulchan (Badei Shulchan 81:1) say one shouldn’t say the Haftorah. </ref>

One can interrupt to correct the Torah reading if the mistake changes the meaning.  <Ref>  S”A 144:3 forbids rolling the sefer Torah in front of the tzibbur because it’s not respectful to the tzibbur. Therefore it’s like one is answering to a person due respect for which it’s allowed to interrupt even in shema. So holds Sh”t Teshurat Shy 1:128, Mishna Brurah 66:26, Sh”t Mahargash 1:48, Kesot Hashulchan (Badei Shulchan 19:7).

# The tzibbur shouldn’t add piutim in Pesukei Dezimrah or Brachot Kriyat Shema, but should be said after the Kaddish Titkabel after Shema Esreh.

# Even though one isn’t obligated to interrupt even for the Dvarim Shebekedusha that are permitted to answer it’s proper to interrupt for them; initially one should place oneself in a place that he can’t hear the Dvarim Shebekedusha so won’t have to answer.  <Ref>  Seemingly this should depend on the dispute of the rishonim whether Osek Min Hamitzvah Patur Min Hamitzvah applies if you are able to fulfill both mitzvoth. However one could argue here there’s more of a reason one’s chayav as the interruption is also a praise of Hashem and part of the mitzvah you’re involved in.
