Question
1) When 10 people recite Birchat HaMazon and have a Zimmun, what should a person who did not eat with them answer?
2) Should one answer after ’Raboitai Nevoreich’ and/or any Amen after brachot?
Answer
1) He answers Yehi Shem Hashem etc..
2) If a person hears a Zimun and did not eat anything with the group, he should respond to the leader: ברוך (אלהינו) ומבורך שמו תמיד לעולם ועד. After the leader has responded, he should answer Amen.
He should also answer Amen after the Brachot.
