#5557 – Blowing Away the Blowing?

Question

See question above. If one is reading the Shema should he wait to listen to the blowing when he is at the end of a parsha (chapter) of the Shema?

Answer

Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that since the blowing of the shofar during Elul is only a minhag (tradition), one may just stop for the fraction of a minute, if that is what the blowing takes.
