Question
Is it permissible to speak after the Amidah prayer before reciting Tachanun?
Answer
Shalom and blessings! It is not permitted to speak between the prayer and the falling on the face, because by doing so, the supplication is not as readily accepted. For this reason, one should also not study verbally between them, but it is allowed in thought.
