In Shulchan Aruch Hl.
Kerias Shema (O.Ch.61:13 ) it says that
the pasuk of ברוך שם כבוד
מלכותו should be said quietly.
In Hl. Yom Hakipurim (619:2)
it says to say it aloud (being we are
compared to Malochim on that
day.)
How can we say it aloud at
the end of Yom Kippur Katan?
In my shul that say it quietly on YK katan.
ReplyDeleteThe actual Minhag of not saying it aloud is when there is
ReplyDeleteno Minyan of fasters.
It is very possible this being the reason (by fasting you are compared to Malach).
It is said, It is more difficult to have a full stomach and know
you will fast for the next 24 hours than have an empty stomach and
know you will eat within the hour.
Therefore the Baruch Sheim on Yom Kippur Mariv is said aloud (similar to Malach)
and the Baruch Sheim of the Mariv on Motzei Y.K. is said quietly (busy thinking of food)
