Question
While reciting the morning blessings on the way, he passed by excrement and therefore stopped in the middle of a blessing, and delayed long enough to finish the entire blessing. Does he need to return to the beginning of the blessing?
Answer
An Ashkenazi returns to the beginning of the blessing if the delay was due to circumstances beyond his control, including halachic compulsion as in this case. However, a Sephardi returns to the place where he stopped in the blessing and continues the blessing he was in the middle of.
