Question

I try to be meticulous in the Traveler's Prayer, making the blessing 'adjacent to another', meaning to say another blessing beforehand. Should the listeners who fulfill their obligation answer 'Amen' after the first blessing, or on the contrary, not answer so that it remains truly 'adjacent'?

Answer

Shalom Rav

One answers 'Amen' to a blessing adjacent to another. Just as one answers 'Amen' to the blessings of the Shemoneh Esrei and the blessings of Birkat Hamazon, even though they are all adjacent to each other, and for this reason, they do not begin with 'Baruch'.
