[Avodah] birchat kohanim

[Marty Bluke via Avodah]

R' Zev Sero asked:
"Who holds that there is a mitzvah to be blessed?"

The Biur Halacha at the beginning of Siman 128 quotes from the Sefer
Charedim that there is a mitzva on the tzibur to be blessed by the kohanim.
The Haflaah in Kesubos 24b uses this Charedim to explain why it is
prohibited for a non-Kohen to go up to duchen, He says that if a Yisrael
goes up to duchess he is being mevatel his mitzva of receiving the beracha.
See also the Minchas Chinuch 378 who quotes this Charedim.
