Question
If I am in the middle of the Ma'ariv prayer, after "Yihyu le'ratzon," and I have begun my personal supplications, and suddenly an alarm (sirenn) starts, is it correct to stop asking, step back and finish, and go out to a protected area, or should I continue the prayer as usual?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
The personal supplications are considered part of the prayer, and you may continue them even during an alarm. There is no obligation to stop.
