Shofar Brachos, Silence and Kiddush

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

The baal tokea's brachos before Musaf are meant to cover every blast until after Musaf, so the Kitzur has the congregation answer amen and not talk at all. The Kitzur quotes the Rambam that the shofar, though a gezeiras hakasuv, hints at a call to sleepers to wake and search their deeds. Further dinim follow on bowing during Malchiyos, a bris on Rosh Hashanah, and blowing shofar for others and for women.

Key points

  • The Kitzur has the congregation answer only amen, as baruch hu uvaruch shmo would be a hefsek.
  • The Kitzur calls Shemoneh Esrei no hefsek, as Musaf's tekios belong with Malchiyos, Zichronos and Shofaros.
  • Not saying the yehi ratzon between the sets is, in the Kitzur's words, more proper.
  • The Rambam, quoted in the Kitzur, hears in the shofar a call: sleepers, wake and search your deeds.
