HALAKHIC CORNER

Q: Does one always need to recite a blessing, or can one simply listen to someone else make a Brakha? A: The Talmud (Sukkot 38b) teaches us that there is a concept of Shomeah K'Oneh (listening is tantamount to speaking) in Jewish law. Meaning, if a person listens to someone else reciting a prayer, the individual who heard the prayer is considered as if he/she has said the prayer himself/herself. This principal is obviously very powerful for those unable to make a blessing on their own. However, there are important rules to keep in mind. Rav Yosef Karo writes in Shulchan Aruch (O”C 219/5) that in order for Shomeah K'Oneh to work, the one physically making the Brakha and the one hearing the Brakha must have the correct intention in mind. The individual actually reciting the blessing must have the intention of making the Brakha on behalf of the other. Additionally, the individual listening to the Brakha must have the intention of fulfilling his or her obligation through listening. Additionally, the Shulchan Aruch (O”C 213/3) records that in order for Shomeah K'Oneh to work, the individual hearing the Brakha has to clearly hear every single word from the one making the Brakha. If either of these two conditions is not met, Shomeah K'Oneh does not work.
