# 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]] one hears from one's friend.  <Ref>  See footnote 12 regarding [[amen]] during Pesukei Dezimrah.

Yet Kaf Hachaim of Rabbi Chaim Sofer (51:11) and Halichot Olam (Vayigash 4) say one should not repeat the beginning of Baruch Sh’amar. </ref>

# When one is in between the zemirot, one can interrupt according to the same principles as in between the [[brachot]] of [[Birchot Shema]], meaning one can answer anyone’s greeting or greet a person who demands respect. When one is in the 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 demands respect. Yet some hold, nowadays, when generally no one gets offended by not being greeted one should not interrupt.  <Ref>  Shulchan Aruch 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]] (Shulchan Aruch 66:1) also apply to Pesukei Dezimrah. Nonetheless, Sefer Chinuch (42) says since nowadays no one is concerned with being greeted for respect and it is sufficient that one stands for them, one should not interrupt at all. This is also the opinion of 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 permision to greet, to someone one has not seen recently and not greeting him will cause hatred; another limition is that it is only permitted to interrupt outside of shul. Many Achronim bring this as halacha including Magen 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 does not hold of this chiluk. </ref>

This is also the opinion of the Ben Ish Chai (Vayigash 10, Shemot 6), Kaf Hachaim of Rabbi Chaim Sofer 66:23, Dvar Yehoshua 2:7, and Sh”t Yabia 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.

# 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. This is also the opinion of Halichot Shlomo 6:11 in name of Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach, Sh”t Yabia Omer 1:5 in name of Sh”t Kiryat Chana David 2:41, but Rav Po’alim 4:4 is strict</ref>

[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.

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.  This is also the opinion of 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, Magen 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, Yabia 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 Yabia 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, Yabia 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, Yabia 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 Yabia Omer 6:4 say to only say the first three words.    </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, Magen 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, Yabia 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 Yabia 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, Yabia 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, Yabia 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 Yabia Omer 6:4 say to only say the first three words.    </ref>
