Question
Hello, In the morning prayer, when a person is with the chazan during the blessings after the Shema, for example, in "Shira Chadasha Shibchu Geulim". If the chazan is waiting for ten people to be ready, and the person is already ready, can he open a book and study Torah in the meantime?
Answer
Hello
It is permissible to study a book at that time. However, one should not utter the words aloud, but study only in thought.
