Question
Is it true that one is allowed to say a few words between the Amidah and Nefilat Apayim?
Answer
Shalom Rav
According to the law, it is permissible to speak a little, but not to prolong the conversation, and it is proper to be stringent. According to the Zohar and the Ari, it is forbidden to speak even a little.
Source
In Magen Avraham and Mishnah Berurah (Orach Chaim, Siman 131, סעיף 1) it is explained that it is permitted. However, in Ritva, Bava Metzia 59: it implies prohibition, as the recitation of Tachanun is part of the prayer, and in Kaf HaChaim (סק"ד) in the name of the Zohar and the Ari.
