Question

When several people are reciting Kaddish and each is at a different place, when should one respond Amen?

Answer

When there is a pause of less than the time it takes to say three words between the responses of Amen, one should respond once for both, either at the beginning or at the end. If there is more than the time it takes to say three words between them, one should respond to each individually. Ideally, all those reciting Kaddish should stand in one place and say it together.
