Question
A Cohen said his priestly blessings in the morning prayer. Then went to study in a synagogue where there is a minyan, and now they are about to perform the priestly blessing there. Does he have an obligation to perform the blessing again?
Answer
He is not obligated to ascend to the platform again, but if he does, he fulfills a mitzvah and recites the blessing "Who has sanctified us." If he was told to ascend (before "Retze"), he has a rabbinic obligation.
