The Daily Halacha Moment - Way To Recite Birchot HaTorah




״כל השונה הלכות בכל יום - מובטח לו שהוא בן העולם הבא״ (נידה עג ע״א, מגילה כח:)



“Anyone who studies Halachot every day is guaranteed that he is destined for the world-to-come” (Megilla 28b, Niddah 73a)




Question:

What is the correct way to recite Birchot HaTorah?



Answer:

Birchot HaTorah can be recited either sitting or standing, depending on one's level of concentration. Each person should choose the position that best allows them to maintain focus and engage meaningfully in the recitation of the berachot. [1] It is recommended to recite a beracha out loud to give others the opportunity to respond with "Amen," but it is not mandatory. [2] Some hold that it is permissible to interrupt between the berachot and the learning, but it is preferable not to do so. Therefore, the common practice is to recite the Parshat Birkat Cohanim immediately after the berachot. [3] The order of the berachot is not crucial. If someone recites the bracha of "Asher Bachar Banu" first, they can simply proceed to recite the other berachot afterward. [4]

[3]. Shulchan Aruch 47:9. Tosafot in Berachot 11b s.v. "Shekevar," quoting the Ri, along with Rabbenu Yonah on 5b and Mordechai in 31, maintain that an interruption between the berachot and learning is not problematic. In contrast, Rambam, as interpreted by the Bet Yosef, holds that no interruption should be made. Magen Avraham in 47:8 permits reciting these verses even before daylight, differing from the Maharshal, who asserts that the verses of Birkat Kohanim should not be recited at night.
