When a chazan must repeat Shemoneh Esrei
If a
chazan made a mistake in his personal
Shemoneh Esrei which requires him to repeat the
tefilla, he may consider
chazaras hashatz as the makeup
tefilla. The
poskim discuss whether this solution can be used for an error in one of the first three
berachos. On Friday night, the
chazan may count the
beracha of
Me'ein Sheva (
Magen Avos) as his
tefilla. For
tefillos for which there is no repetition ( i.e.
Ma'ariv, or times that
Magen Avos won't cover the error, such as when Rosh Chodesh, Yom Tov or Chol Hamoed fall on Friday night and the error involved
ya'aleh v'yavo), the
chazan must repeat his
Shemoneh Esrei. In these circumstances, he is permitted to recite
kaddish before repeating the
tefilla.

When the chazan must repeat chazaras hashatz
If the
chazan must repeat
chazaras hashatz,
kedusha is recited the second time as well. The
poskim discuss whether
birkas kohanim is repeated. According to some
poskim, the
chazan should say the introductory passage of
E-lokeinu v'E-lokei
Avoseinu which is recited in many congregations before
birkas kohanim, and the
kohanim should recite the
peukim without the preceding
beracha. If new
kohanim who were not present for the first
tefilla enter the shul, they may recite
birkas kohanim with the preceding
beracha.

Informing a kohein about a dead body during Shemoneh Esrei
If people become aware that there is a dead body in a room where there is a
kohein
davening
Shemoneh Esrei, it is incumbent on them to inform him immediately. The
kohein should interrupt his
tefilla and leave the premises. If it is possible to close the doors or windows and downgrade the
teuma to a Rabbinic prohibition, it is not necessary to inform the
kohein and require him to leave. (He must leave immediately after
davening.) Likewise, it is not necessary to interrupt the
kohein if the
teuma is
d'rabonon. The
poskim debate whether a
kohein who was informed about a
teuma d'rabonon while he was
davening must leave the premises immediately.

- Someone who denies any of the tenets of Judaism (e.g. Heavenly origin of the Torah, reward and punishment, Moshiach, resurrection of the dead) cannot serve as a chazan. If such a person leads the congregation, he should be removed -- even in the middle of chazaras hashatz -- and it is forbidden to respond Amein to his berachos.
- If the chazan became weary in the middle of chazaras hashatz, someone else should take over. If it happened in the middle berachos, the replacement should begin where the first one left off. If he left off in the middle of a beracha, the replacement should start from the beginning of the beracha.
- The Medrash records a custom of people bouncing on their toes when reciting the words kodosh, kodosh, kodosh in kedusha. According to the Acharonim, this should also be done for the pesukim of Baruch and Yimloch.
