When the chazan<\/i> reaches Modim<\/i>, the whole congregation bows with him and recites Modim d\u2019Rabbanan<\/i>, whose nusach<\/i> differs from that of the Modim<\/i> in the Amidah<\/i>, as clarified in the Talmud<\/i> (Sotah<\/i> 40a).<\/p>\n
The entire congregation bows down in Modim d\u2019Rabbanan.<\/i> The laws concerning this bow are similar to the laws of Modim<\/i> in the silent Amidah<\/i> (Mishnah Berurah<\/i> 127:2; Kaf HaChaim<\/i> 1; see earlier in this book 17:6).<\/p>\n
There are those who say that it is necessary to bow again at the conclusion of Modim d\u2019Rabbanan.<\/i> Others say that it is proper to recite the full Modim d\u2019Rabbanan<\/i> while bowing. The prevalent minhag<\/i> is to bow only in the beginning of Modim d\u2019Rabbanan<\/i>, as was the minhag<\/i> of the Ari<\/i> (see Shulchan Aruch<\/i> and Rama<\/i> 127:1; Kaf HaChaim<\/i> 10).<\/p>\n
In a prayer service in which Birkat Kohanim<\/i> is recited, as in Shacharit<\/i>, Musaf<\/i>, and in the Minchah<\/i> of fast days, if there are no Kohanim<\/i> present, the chazan<\/i> recites the verses of Birkat Kohanim<\/i> as a prayer, and the congregation responds \u201cKen yehi ratzon<\/i>\u201d to every verse.<\/p>\n
There are two versions of Birkat HaShalom<\/i> \u2013 \u201cSim Shalom<\/i>\u201d and \u201cShalom Rav<\/i>.\u201d According to Nusach Sephard<\/i>, which follows the Ari<\/i>, Sim Shalom<\/i> is recited in all the prayers. According to Nusach Ashkenaz<\/i>, Sim Shalom<\/i> is recited in a prayer in which Birkat Kohanim<\/i> can be recited. In a prayer in which Birkat Kohanim<\/i> cannot be recited, Shalom Rav<\/i> is recited. If one mistakenly said the wrong wording, he still fulfilled his obligation (Rama<\/i> 127:2, Mishnah Berurah<\/i> 13; Kaf HaChaim<\/i> 24).[8]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n If a chazan<\/i> becomes disoriented to the point where he cannot continue praying, the congregation waits to see if he can return to his senses. If he cannot continue, another chazan<\/i> is appointed to replace him. If this happens in one of the middle berachot<\/i>, the second chazan<\/i> starts from the beginning of that berachah<\/i>. If it happens in the middle of the first three or the last three berachot<\/i>, he starts from the beginning of those three berachot<\/i> (Shulchan Aruch<\/i> 126:1-2).[9]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
