Reply To: Important Overlooked Halachas

someone is saying kaddish and ends off “D’amiran b’alma v’imru” and then waits to say “amen” together with those responding. Please think about what you are saying! The one who is saying kaddish is telling the people to say “amen”, so tell them that! V’imru amen – and say amen. V’imru – and say. And say what?

aah squeak

this bothers me every day

and it is not only common sense, but the Mishna Berurah makes this point.

i see it done incorrectly so very frequently

by the way, the opposite logic applies to BrichHu in the Kaddish. logically the S’Tz and everyone should say it together, but the M’B says here too the Shatz should say it first followed by the Tzibbur. i dont know why.
