During which prayer services is Birkat Kohanim (Duchanin) performed?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that Birkat Kohanim is performed only at Shacharit, Mussaf, and Neilah (on days with Neilah), but not at Mincha due to concern about intoxication. Ashkenazim follow a more restricted custom of only Yom Tov Mussaf.
