Question
When a Kohen is in mourning and there are other Kohanim in the minyan in his house, and he is the chazan for his father and mother and cannot go outside during the Priestly Blessing (according to the Jerusalem custom where a non-mourning Kohen raises his hands in the house of mourning), what should he do during the Priestly Blessing?
Answer
He should wait, and another person from the congregation should recite the verses of the blessing to the Kohanim, and he should wait silently.
