Delay During the Blessings of the Shema
Question
He prayed on Shabbat in a synagogue where they extend the melodies in the blessings of the Shema, and during the blessing, he paused and looked into a book, delaying more than the time needed to complete it. Does he need to start from the beginning?
Answer
He does not need to.
