- Q. See questions above. I also wonder if someone learning Torah in a side room in a Shul and hears the laud recitation of the Thirteen Midos, does he have to stop his learning and repeat with all?
A. Poskim disagree on the above. Nitei Gavriel (11: 9) and others maintain that in principle one does not have to stop his learning yet the tradition and minhag is to stop.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit”a opinion is that one should continue learning Torah if possible.
