Must a Kohen interrupt Keriat Shema to be called up to the Torah?
Synopsis
The Mechaber cites two opinions and rules like the Rashba that the Kohen does not interrupt. Later authorities (Levush, Magen Avraham) report that the accepted custom is to interrupt. The Taz adds a middle position: interrupt during the blessings of Shema but not during Shema itself.
