<div>Is there any support for those who answer Borchu UVoruch Shemo
between Borchu and Shmono Esreh? Why is it so ingrained in a lot of
people?</div></font></div></blockquote><div><br>AFAIK There is little if any support becasue BHv'BS is post Talmudic and it has been well-established as hefsek at least lechatichila. <br><br>Hwever,frankly imho , since it has been around 700 years as an accepted response I don't see it as a big deal anymore to make this hefsek because, after all, many aspects of Tefillah are based upon Post-Talmudic [
e.g. Ga'onic sources]. In the meantime, don't do it.<br></div></div><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Kol Tuv / Best Regards,<br><a href="mailto:RabbiRichWolpoe@Gmail.com">RabbiRichWolpoe@Gmail.com</a><br>Please Visit:
