KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA


Translated from Yalkut Yosef:

1. It is mandatory to stop those who are accustomed to doing a shortened Minha without the Hazarat HaSha”tz because it does not coincide with Halacha (Jewish Law). However, when there is a minyan that holds a very small number of people and within the ten people there are those who will not answer ‘amen’ and will not put effort to listen to the Hazara the minyan should only do a shortened Tefillah. When there is a minyan with people who are yereh shamayim (have Fear of Heaven) and even more so when there is a lot of people present, G-d forbid should the minyan be lenient and do a shortened prayer. It is therefore mandatory for the heads of communities to make sure a normal Tefillah with Hazarat HaSha”tz is done everyday with people answering ‘amen’ and avoiding reading books in the middle.

2. It is a pleasant and recommended custom to say after every mention of Hashem’s name Baruch Hu U’Varuch Shemo. Therefore, it is the Shaliah Tzibbur’s responsibility to wait a moment after mentioning Hashem’s name to let the congregation answer Baruch Hu U’Varuch Shemo and then finish the beracha as usual.
