Kitzur Yomi #61 | Siman 7, Seif 4 | The Proper Ending of "Hama'avir Sheinah"

When should you answer Amen after the morning berachah "Hama'avir Sheinah Mei'einai"?In this episode of the Kitzur Yomi, the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch teaches that you should not answer Amen immediately after "Hama'avir Sheinah Mei'einai Usenumah Mei'afapai." The reason is that this is not the end of the berachah. The words "Vihi Ratzon..." are considered a continuation, and the berachah concludes only with "HaGomeil Chasadim Tovim Le'amo Yisrael."This halachah reminds us that understanding the structure of a berachah is essential for knowing when to respond with Amen.Do not answer Amen after "Hama'avir Sheinah Mei'einai.""Vihi Ratzon" is part of the same berachah, not a separate prayer.The berachah concludes with "HaGomeil Chasadim Tovim Le'amo Yisrael."Amen should be answered only after the entire berachah has ended.Knowing the structure of a berachah helps us fulfill Halachah correctly.Every word of a berachah has its place.
