# Siman 68 – Piyutim

אChelek 1

1. If you are in a congregation that says piyutim incorporated into the Birchos Krias Shema, don’t seperate yourself from them by looking into a sefer during the recital of those piyutim (people might come to talk words of Torah which would be an interruption), rather say them with the congregation. (Rama - MB )
2. You may “think in learning” while the congregation is reciting the piyutim. However, during Kaddish it is ossur to think in learning. (MB )
3. When daavening without a tzibbur, do not recite any piyut in the middle of a beracha. (MB )
4. Do not change the minhag of your place in regard to the nusach of tefilla - for example from Ashkenaz to Sefard or the opposite. If you daaven with a congregation of the other nusach, you still fulfill your obligation. (MB )
