# | # While Ashkenazim only answer Amen to their own Bracha at the end of Boneh Yerushalayim in Birkat HaMazon, the Sephardic tradition is to answer Amen in any major instance of making a series of Berachot, such as at the end of Yishtabach, Sim Shalom, Hallel, the Haftarah Brachot, and Hashkiveinu. This does not include Brachot recited before performance of a Mitzvah or eating, as that would constitute a Hefsek.<ref>See [[Answering Amen to Your Own Bracha]]</ref> | ||
