halacha - Answering Baruch Hu UVaruch Shemo and Amen while learning


If someone is giving Shiur in the same room as people Davening, do the people learning answer Baruch Hu Uvaruch Shemo and Amen to the Hazarat HaShatz?



Answer



Answering to the Shaliach Tzibur is a sign of loyalty to Hashem and the Klal. You affirm that what they are saying is true, and that what they are doing is valid. You even attach yourself to their prayers, benefiting both you and the people praying.



By not responding, you are in effect saying that really you don't care about the klal, and only care about yourself.
