Hi,
When Reuven fulfills the Kiddush obligation on behalf of Shimon, both must concentrate on the fact that Reuven is reciting Kiddush for Shimon. Therefore, it is appropriate for the person reciting Kiddush to remind everyone present of this fact.
This is what we do when say “Savri Maranan veRabbanan viRabotai (Pay attention, my masters and teachers)” before reciting the blessing.
(Mishneh Berurah 271:5)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Good morning,
ReplyDeleteDoes the text of "Savri" matter? For example, could I say, "Savri" and nothing else, or add "Savri ishti" or other things? Is the "ikhar" to simply include the word "Savri"?

Hi Michael,
ReplyDeleteGood question. One may alter this, but one key element must remain: The request that people listen. Mishneh Berurah 174:45 notes that requesting permission ("birshut") is inadequate.
