Question
Is it permissible to speak for a need while the congregation is reciting the Song of the Day and 'Kaveh El Hashem' at the end of the Shacharit prayer?
Answer
Shalom Rav,
There is no prohibition against speaking during the recitation of the Song of the Day, etc., in terms of interruption by speech. However, it is generally considered disrespectful to the prayer when a person talks while everyone is praying, so it is advisable to step outside and speak there. [In the case of a short and necessary conversation, it may not be considered disrespectful].
