Speaking During Prayer
Question
Hello,
A person who is in the Mincha prayer during the Tachanun at "Shomer Yisrael," if someone comes and talks to him, is it permissible to respond and have a conversation?
And is it different if the person is at "Aleinu L'Shabeach"?
Answer
Hello
There is no prohibition of interruption.
However, it is obviously not appropriate to speak in the middle of prayer. If there is no great need, it is disrespectful to the prayer.
