May one answer Amen after the blessing 'HaBocheir B'Amo Yisrael B'Ahavah' (end of Ahavat Olam/Ahavah Rabbah)?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules one should not answer Amen after this blessing because it constitutes an interruption between the blessing and Shema. The Rema (via Biur HaGra and MB) clarifies that if one finished the blessing before the chazan, one should answer Amen after the chazan's conclusion.
