Question
Hello Rabbi,
A person who is in the blessing of "Who blesses His people Israel with peace" in the Amidah, and mistakenly responded "Amen" to the chazan's blessing - what is his status? Should he return to the beginning of the blessing?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
One who errs and speaks in the middle of a blessing should return to the beginning of the blessing. Whether he spoke mundane words or said 'Amen' and the like.
If he continued and completed the blessing, he should continue praying and not return to the blessing.
