# Telling someone a halacha without giving a reason is a dispute of the poskim, one should be strict to say Birchot HaTorah beforehand. <ref> Rama on Shulchan Aruch 47:4 based on Ran (Shabbat 4b s.v. Makom, Avoda Zara 19b s.v. Tana) allows this because it is just like thoughts of Torah. However Yalkut Yosef 47:7 rules that because of a double doubt one should be strict to make brachot. </ref>

# One who hears a bracha may answer [[Amen]] before having recited these berachot themself. One also may answer Kedushah before reciting these brachot, even though the responses are themselves biblical verses. <ref> Sh"t Rivivot Ephraim 1:39:1 </ref>

# According to many poskim one may perform mitzvot without reciting birchot hatorah.<ref>Mishna Brurah 47:7 based on the Gra writes that one may perform mitzvot without reciting birchot hatorah since thinking about a mitzvah isn't the same as thinking about Torah. However, the Bikkurei Yakov 644:1 writes that before shaking the lulav one should recite birchot hatorah. (See Agur siman 1 cited by Bet Yosef 47:11 who writes that observing halacha in the bathroom prevents one from having an interruption for one's brachot hatorah since that is like learning. That implies observing halacha and certainly mitzvot is like learning. But the Biur Hagra 47 s.v. vhu hadin writes that the Agur is incorrect because observing mitzvot isn't learning. Also, see Biur Halacha 588:2 s.v. shma who suggests that thinking about mitzvot is like learning Torah with respect to learning in the bathroom.)</ref>
# According to many poskim one may perform mitzvot without reciting birchot hatorah.<ref>Gra 47:10 writes that one may perform mitzvot without reciting Birchot Hatorah since thinking about them isn't done with the intention to learn. Mishna Brurah 47:7 follows the Gra. However, the Bikkurei Yakov 644:1 writes that before shaking the lulav one should recite birchot hatorah.
