Q. I heard that if the only present in a minyan in a shul during Elul that knows how to blow the shofar is in the middle of davening the Amida, he may interrupt and blow the shofar for all. Could that be correct?
A. Indeed Kovetz Halochos rules that if the one davening Shemonesreh, finds it difficult to continue his tefila, since the rest want and wait for the voice of the shofar. He may stop in the middle and blow the shofar.
However, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it should not be done.
