Question
A person who does not know what day it is, is he allowed to recite the blessing with the congregation and, when everyone counts, listen to the congregation and say the correct count with them?
Answer
Initially, one should not recite the blessing until he knows clearly how much to count on that day, but if he remained silent after the blessing until he heard his friend count, and then counted along with him, he has fulfilled his obligation.
