However, once one says \u201c<em>Barukh Atta Hashem<\/em>\u201d at the conclusion, she may not interrupt at all, for such an interruption truncates the <em>berakha<\/em> (BHL 66:3).<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, when reciting the verses \u201c<em>Shema Yisrael<\/em>\u2026\u201d and \u201c<em>Barukh Shem kevod\u2026<\/em>,\u201d in which one accepts the yoke of heaven, one may not interrupt for anything, for they have the same status as the <em>Amida<\/em>, in which we do not interrupt at all (SA 66:1).<\/p>\n<p>In any case of uncertainty in the middle of <em>Birkhot Keri\u2019at Shema<\/em> or <em>Pesukei De-zimra<\/em>, it is best not to respond, for according to many <em>poskim<\/em>, even if it is permissible to respond, there is no obligation to do so (<em>Peninei Halakha: Prayer<\/em>, ch. 16 n. 4).<\/p>\n<p>In the middle of the <em>Amida<\/em> it is forbidden to respond to any <em>davar she-bikdusha<\/em>, including <em>Kaddish<\/em> and <em>Kedusha<\/em>.

However if interrupting the <em>Amida <\/em>to listen to <em>\u0125azan<\/em> disturbs her <em>kavana<\/em>, it is better that she continue her silent <em>Amida<\/em> (<em>Peninei Halakha: Prayer<\/em> 17:15).<\/p>\n<p>On weekdays, one must not interrupt between <em>Ga\u2019al Yisrael<\/em> and the <em>Amida <\/em>for any <em>davar she-bikdusha<\/em>, for adjoining redemption to prayer helps save people from distress. However, on Shabbat, which is not considered a day of distress, there is less of a necessity to adjoin redemption to prayer, and according to most <em>poskim<\/em> one may interrupt to respond to <em>devarim she-bikdusha<\/em>. On festivals, which are days of judgment (on Sukkot, we are judged regarding water, on Pesa\u0125 regarding the harvest, and on Shavuot regarding tree fruits \u2013 see RH 16a), one may not interrupt between redemption and prayer (SA 66:9; Rema 111:1; <em>Peninei Halakha: Prayer<\/em>, ch. 16 n. 7).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In cases where one may respond in the middle of Birkhot Keri\u2019at Shema, she may only respond while reciting the main part of it, from the beginning until just before the conclusion.
