# '''Birkat Kohanim of Shaliach Tzibur''': The Magen Avraham 127:3 cites a Zohar that when a person turns their face in the birkat kohanim of elokenu velokay avoteynu they should turn to the right for the word "vyishmerecha", to the left for "panav eylecha vyichunecha." Mishna Brurah 127:8 agrees. | # '''Birkat Kohanim of Shaliach Tzibur''': The Magen Avraham 127:3 cites a Zohar that when a person turns their face in the birkat kohanim of elokenu velokay avoteynu they should turn to the right for the word "vyishmerecha", to the left for "panav eylecha vyichunecha."

# '''Birkat Kohanim for Kohanim''': The Roke’ach 323 explains that during Birkat Kohanim the kohanim turn to the left and then to the right during the words Yivarecha, Vyishmarecha, Eylecha, Veyichunecha, Eylecha, Lecha, and Shalom. Peulat Tzadik 3:16 is bothered why we do this and don’t turn to the right first. Fnt. 2 points out that this is different than Gemara Yoma 53b, the bows after Shemona Esrei, since he isn’t taking leave of Hashem here. | # '''Birkat Kohanim for Kohanim''': The Roke’ach 323 explains that during Birkat Kohanim the kohanim turn to the left and then to the right during the words Yivarecha, Vyishmarecha, Eylecha, Veyichunecha, Eylecha, Lecha, and Shalom.

# '''Birkat Kohanim''': Bet Yosef 128:17 and Magen Avraham hold that the cohanim should turn around by turning to their right. That is, a turn clockwise (east, south, west, north). Bach 128:10 agrees and proves that this is the view of Maharil and Trumat Hadeshen. However, Levush 128:17 disagrees. He holds that a person rotating should turn counterclockwise. Even though he's going to his left, that's called right since he started by going right (moving his right foot). Rama Mpano (Yamin Hashem Romema) agrees with Levush. | # '''Birkat Kohanim''': Bet Yosef 128:17 and Magen Avraham hold that the cohanim should turn around by turning to their right.
