May the congregation say Psalm 47 ('Kol Ha'Amim') during the shofar blowing?
Synopsis
The Aruch HaShulchan reports the custom to say Psalm 47 seven times before the blasts, and warns that some ignorant people who did not finish the seven recitations continue saying it during the blasts — which is forbidden, as one must listen to the blasts silently.
