Assuming that it is a hefseik and forbidden to interrupt between amidah and tachanun, should a person who regularly recites vidui change his custom and delay the recital of vidui until later on, after the kaddish titkabeil, or even perhaps after shir shel yom (the end of davening)?

    Who said vidui is a hefsek? Maybe it's part of tachanun. – Double AA May 16 '12 at 01:57
  • @DoubleAA - Just maybe? Or certainly? – Adam Mosheh May 16 '12 at 01:58
  • Seems from the Ben Ish Chai that it is http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=40322&st=&pgnum=105 – sam May 16 '12 at 02:46
  • @sam - I'm having a hard time reading that page. Which paragraph specifically denotes that Vidui is not a hefseik? – Adam Mosheh May 16 '12 at 03:10

    Read 5 which says vidui is said and then niflas apayim is said right after.If it.was a hefsek it wouldnt be in that order. – sam May 16 '12 at 03:17
  • Thank you @sam - I think I was able to understand most of that. So basically it is the same reason why we delay tachanun on Mondays and Thursdays? – Adam Mosheh May 16 '12 at 03:22

    As per Minhag HaGro one says the Selichos (on BeHaB and fast days) between the Amidah and Tachanun. These Selichos have the Vidui (once/thrice depending on custom) and the entire (20 - 40 minute) addition is not considered a hefseik. – Danny Schoemann Jul 26 '12 at 13:03
