Question: Occasionally, I daven in a shul that
has multiple minyanim going on at the same time and I can hear another minyan
clearly while I’m davening. Is it correct to respond to their kaddish
and kedusha, etc?
Answer: R’ Chaim Kanievsky (quoted in Ishei
Yisrael 24:n62) holds that one who is davening and hears kedusha from
another minyan needs to respond (See Mishna Berura 124:3). R’
Eliezer Waldenberg (Tzitz Eliezer 3:11:4) writes that according to one opinion,
even the chazzan would have to respond to the other minyan.
Nonetheless, R’ Waldenberg writes that when part of one minyan,
one wouldn’t need to respond to any other. One should try one’s utmost to daven
in a minyan where one can’t hear other minyanim simultaneously.
R’ Ephraim Greenblatt (Rivevos Ephraim 1:89:2) writes that according
to R’ Yosef Shalom Elyashiv and others, one would only respond to keduasha
in one’s own minyan, especially if doing so would disrupt one’s
concentration. This would even apply to one saying pesukei dezimra (See
Shearim Metzuyanim Behalacha 20:1).
In conclusion, R’ Avraham Yeshaya Pfoifer (Ishei Yisrael
24:28) writes that while one davening doesn’t need to respond to kedusha
and barechu, etc. that they heard in a different minyan, they
may do so if they want to. One should avoid this situation where
possible by davening in a place where they’re less likely to be
disturbed from outside.
