Question

Hello, A person who is in the middle of the blessing of Baruch She'amar and hears the Kaddish of the congregation (the congregation has finished Yishtabach). How should he act? Should he respond to the Kaddish or continue with the blessing? And to which parts of the Kaddish should he respond, if at all?

Answer

Hello,

If he is before saying 'Baruch Atah Hashem', he should respond. However, if he is after 'Baruch Atah Hashem', he should not respond.

He should only respond with 'Amen, Yehei Shmei Rabbah' and 'Amen' after 'Da'amiran Be'alma', but not to the other 'Amens'.
