Does one respond Amen after blessings recited by a minor (child)?
Synopsis
One does not respond Amen when a child is learning blessings from a teacher, as those blessings are recited in vain. However, when a child who has reached the age of chinuch recites blessings to fulfill his own obligation, Amen is required.
