Question
A person who is in a synagogue in a hospital during the repetition of the Amidah, especially during the Mussaf with the sounding of the shofar, and is asked to come to the departure of a soul, God forbid, is he considered engaged in a mitzvah and therefore exempt? And in general, what is the level of obligation? Can it be said that its departure is like its giving?
Answer
Peace and blessings
While you are praying or listening to the shofar, you are exempt under the law of 'engaged in a mitzvah'.
In principle, there is significance in ten, and the accompaniment of many is not mentioned as it is during a funeral.
