> 966. One should be mindful to carefully pronounce each word when responding
"Boruch Hu U'voruch Shemo", and be especially vigilant to pronounce the letter
"Vuv" of U'voruch. Piskei Tshuvos 124:11, Kaf Hachaim 124:29, Boruch She'omar

Can anyone provide a source and/or a reason for the halacha as stated in the
Daily Halacha?
 
Zev Sero : 

> AIUI Shabtai Tzvi followers would deliberately omit the first vav

> of "uvaruch", because without it the phrase adds up to the same

> gematria as their leader's name. I don't know a source for this.

It's in Baruch Sheamar, written by Baruch Heleivi Epstein (of Torah Temima fame)

: on tefilla
