Reply To: Quiz – on laws of davening (no cheating)

Regarding a person who is holding in krias shema or its blessings, when the tzibbur is up to Birkas Kohanim, the question is, whether he can say Amein…

I saw in one source that he should say Amein to the verses but not to the bracha. However, Piskei Teshuvos 66:6 says that one should interrupt the birchos Krias Shema as well as Krias Shema itself (except if one is in middle of the 1st Possuk of Shema w/Boruch Shem Kivod etc.) to answer Amein to the beracha made by the Kohanim when they begin blessing the congregation.
