<div>24:15 -</div>
<div><strong>/therefore one should not talk [</strong><em>of matters not related to prayer, i.e., "chullin"</em><strong>], do not say tachnunim, or learn Torah</strong></div>
<div><strong>(and not even study from a book) during the repetition of the Shmoneh Esrei even if he is sure he can meditate and answer at the end of each bracha/</strong></div>
<p><strong>See note Kaf HaChayim 124:16...and see Mishneh Brura 125:1 which indicates that this refers only to Kedusha. And see Responsa Revavot Efrayim Vol. 8, 61.</strong><br>-- <br>Yisrael Medad<br>Shiloh<br>Mobile Post Efraim 44830
