May one interrupt between 'Yehei Shemeih Rabbah' and 'Mevarakh' (or between 'Shemeih' and 'Rabbah')?
Synopsis
There is a dispute regarding precisely where within the phrase 'Yehei Shemeih Rabbah Mevarakh' an interruption is forbidden. The Rema rules no interruption between Shemeih and Rabbah (per one opinion) or between Rabbah and Mevarakh (per the Ri), with the Mishnah Berurah and GRA siding that no interruption between Rabbah and Mevarakh is the primary concern.
