Subject: Correcting Laining Mistakes

In response to Joseph Wetstein [Vol 24 # 9] I personally was told by
Rabbi Joseph Solveitchick (for whom I occasionally lained) that if one
made a mistake one must repeat the whole possook over.

The rav also used this "whole possook" method on ZAYCHER and ZECHER.

His reasoning was that the Gemarrah states that any possook that moses
didn't divide we can't divide and therefore if you make a mistake in the
middle of a possook and correct only a fragment it looks like you are
just quoting that possook fragment.

My own personal custom in Zaycher and Zecher is to say the whole Posook.
