Study Guide Berakhot 34 The mishna mentions other words that if the chazan used them in prayer, he would be removed. What do we do when the chazan makes a mistake? A number of laws are mentioned regarding laws of a chazan. Can one answer to the blessing of the kohen? Can he bless the people if he is the only kohen? How should one respond when asked tobe a chazan? What does one do when one makes a msitake in his prayer? We learn from Moshe that short or long prayers are always accepted. When in shmone esreh does one bow? Is it a good thing to bow or not? Does it depend on who you are? Is it different for leaders? Why? One who makes a mistake in prayer, it's a bad sign. It was known that Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa would pray for people and would know based on his prayer whether or not the person would be healed.
