Does the requirement to complete the Amidah before Kaddish apply only in Ma'ariv (where there is no Kedushah), or also in Shacharit and Minchah?
Synopsis
The Magen Avraham limits the Kaddish rule to Ma'ariv; the Aruch HaShulchan argues it applies broadly in all services — since in Shacharit/Minchah Kedushah already excludes Kaddish separately.
