[Avodah] Amen

[Michael Poppers]

In the "when it’s so asynchronous that it’s not even toch kdei dibbur"
case, I would prefer RAMiller's *derech* (try to answer everyone whom
you've heard because "l'halacha, one ought to") over RJKaplan's *derech*
(answer only the last because "the speedsters are simply being rude") --
making a blanket assumption like RJK made deserves its own thread! -- but I
have to add one point re a partial example of the case: when one of the
Qaddish sayers is the SHaTZ, really there should be no one else saying
Qaddish, so all other sayers should be keeping up w/ him, and in that
situation, I'm doing my darndest to listen _only_ to the SHaTZ and to
answer _only_ to what he's saying.  (For the record, in my community there
is at least one current *aveil* who figuratively bows to the crowd and,
when acting as SHaTZ, says Qaddish in such a low voice, trying to sync w/
the other sayers, that I cannot hear his voice -- in such a case, I go back
to RAM's methodology [and I strongly disagree w/ what that *aveil* is
doing, but at least until he's no longer an *aveil*, I don't feel
comfortable confronting him with "v'niqdashti b'soch..."/the importance of
saying a *davar shebiqdusha* loud enough for a *minyan* to hear...].)

All the best from
