Changing One's Mind After Hearing Someone Else's Beracha

Changing One's Mind After Hearing Someone Else's Beracha
Day: Monday
Date: June 27, 2016
Parshat: Shelah
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 213


If a person listened and said amen to another person's beracha on food, and the one saying the beracha had in mind to cover the listener, he may not change his mind at that point and decide not to partake of the food. At that point he also may not say his own beracha. Since by listening he is considered to have said the beracha, changing his mind would be a beracha levatala, a beracha said for no reason which is not allowed. However, if he did not say amen to the other person's beracha he may change his mind and say his own beracha or decide not to eat at all.
