Pesukei DeZimrah: Difference between revisions

# When one is saying the Bracha of Baruch Sh’amar or Yishtabach after Baruch Atta Hashem, one may not answer [[amen]] to a bracha.  <Ref>  The Magen Avraham (51:3) holds one can answer [[amen]] during the bracha of Baruch Sh’amar since it is a bracha not mentioned in Talmud, so holds the Pri Chadash 51, Imri David Padir 51, Sh”t Levushei David Tanina O”C 16, Sh”t Hayshiv Moshe Titelbaum O”C 3, Mishna Brurah 51:2. However, Birkei Yosef 51:1 quotes Tur who quotes Sefer Hayecholet that Yishmael ben Elisha Cohen Gadol wrote Baruch She’amar and the mentioning of it in the Yerushalmi and Zohar. Thus, in the bracha itself one may not answer [[amen]], so holds Mishkenot Yacov O”C 64, Chida in Kesher Gadol 7:29, Mishna Brurah 51:2 in name of Chaye Adam 5:13, Igrot Moshe O”C 4:13, Shalmei Tzibbur pg 67b, Sh”t Zechur LeAvraham 3 pg 5b, Kaf Hachaim of Rabbi Chaim Palagi 18:5, Ben Ish Chai Vayigash 9, Tehilah LeDavid 51:1, Me’ain Ganim O”C 13:4, Torat Chaim Sofer 51:1, Beiur Halacha D”H Im Siyem, Sh”t Meshiv Halacha 1:438, Sh”t Yabia Omer O”C 5:7(5), 6:6(3), Sh”t Yacheva Daat 6:3 pg 18.  </ref>

# When one is saying the bracha of Baruch Sh’amar or Yishtabach after Baruch Atta Hashem, one can answer [[Kedusha]], [[Barchu]], and the first five [[amen]]’s of a Sephardic [[Kaddish]] and three [[amen]]’s of an Ashkenazic [[Kaddish]]. One should not answer Barich Hu. When one answers Amen Yehe Shem Raba one should only answer up to Ulmiya Yitbarach and not until De’amiran Be’alma.  <Ref>  Kaf Hachaim of Rabbi Chaim Palagi (18:5) says one may not answer any Dvar Sh’bekedusha during the bracha. Yet Taharat HaMayim (Shuirei Tahara Ma’arechet 5:19, pg 54b) argues one should be allowed just as during [[brachot]] of Shema. This is also the opinion of Ben Ish Chai Vayigash 9, Kaf HaChaim of Rabbi Chaim Sofer 53:2, 54:7, Chesed LeAlafim 54:2, and Halacha Brurah 51:12. Mishna Brurah 54:3 quotes Chaye Adam 5:13 who forbids any interruption in the actual bracha, but the Mishna Brurah says one could argue with this and leaves it as a tzarich iyun. Ben Ish Chai Vayigash 9 says one should say Amen Yehe Sheme Raba until Da’Amiran Be’alma and Sh”t Yabia Omer O”C 1:5, 6:8, Halichot Olam Vayigash 3 quotes achronim who say one should only say up to Ulmiya. Concerning Barich Hu see footnote 23.  </ref>
