[Avodah] Chazarta Hashas

[M Cohen]

See Teshuvos v'hanhagos (Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch) chelek alef, tshuva kuf vav
(that allows learning l'chatchila (if you answer amen at end of each brocha)
during CH if the rest of the minyan is not listening/answering properly to
CH anyways)


I personally always thought that the heter was based on the svara that if
you can't concentrate on the Chazarta Hashas anyways, it's better to learn
than yoshiev batel.

otoh, RMF's sevara of 'can't do since others may learn from you' w/ indicate
that even if you can't concentrate, yoshiev batel is preferable.


btw, I doubt that any posek is going to give a heter to learn during CH in
print, because of the great chalisha it w/ cause to CH



wrt to your question of why do we see people doing it and not being
corrected; either as above or nafsho chashka.. or mutav shyeheyu shogigin..
