If someone makes a blessing on food, and before eating hears the same blessing from another person, does he say Amen, or is that a hefsek?
Similarly, if one finishes Baruch She'amar, and (before continuing with Pesukei Dezimra) hears the chazzan finish it, should one respond Amen, or is that a hefsek as well?
On the blessing, it's a hefseck: you're in your blessing and mitzvah patiurs mitzvah. In pasick dzimra you can answer.
