Q. Re- question 2000 (on answering Yehei Shmei correctly during kaddish). The Gemara says whomever answers Y'hei Sh'mei etc. with all his Koach, they tear up etc. The Gemara uses the words "Kol Ho'ohneh". Does this mean that this Eitzah does not work for the Chazan when he says Y'hei Sh'mei etc. as part of his recitation?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that the sayings of the sages on the greatness and importance of answering Yehei Shmei Rabba correctly apply both to the listeners answering as to the one reciting the kaddish.
The Rov further explained that since the kaddish reciter is the one causing and promoting the answer of the many listening, he shares with them the great mitzva done and is included with them in their answer.
