Question

Regarding the 'Yehi Ratzon' that is customarily recited during the Priestly Blessing in the Mussaf of Yom Tov, when the Kohanim extend the melody on the word 'Shalom', is 'Yehi Ratzon' recited even when there is only one Kohen?

Answer

Shalom Rav,

The Gemara and the poskim mention reciting this prayer, and I have not found any distinction in the books whether there is one Kohen or more.
