Q. See question 4877 above. The Rav said to skip Baruch Hashem L’olam if necessary when davening for the amud. But if the minhag hamakom is to say it, how can one go against that?

A. One should avoid davening for the amud then. If that is not an option skipping unnoticed this brocho is allowed, as is often done by others.
