[edit] Introduction
[edit] Hebrew Text
- העובר לפני התיבה –
- לא יענה אחר הכהנים "אמן",
- מפני הטירוף.
- ואם אין שם כהן אלא הוא –
- לא ישא את כפיו.
- ואם הבטחתו שהוא נושא את כפיו וחוזר לתפלתו –
- רשאי.
[edit] English Translation
| edit |
- One who leads the prayers {lit. "passes before the ark"}
- should not repond after [the blessing of] the kohanim [by saying] "Amen",
- because [he may] lose his concentration [and become unable to begin the next blessing].
- If there is no kohen there besides him [to recite the Priestly Blessing],
- He should not recite the Priestly Blessing [himself] {lit. "He should not lift his palms"}.
- But, if he is confident that he will [be able to] recite the Priestly Blessing {lit. "lift his palms}, and then, return to his prayer,
- [he is] permitted.
