Shofar Blowing for Others and Birkas Kohanim Comparison

Date: 21 Teves 5571

From: Rabbi Moshe Sofer

To: Rabbi Akiva

Description

Rabbi Akiva challenges Tosfos's comparison between one who blows shofar for others after fulfilling his own obligation and a Kohen who repeats Birkas Kohanim. The Chasam Sofer defends Tosfos, arguing that arvus (mutual guarantorship) makes the shofar blower still personally obligated.
