יחיד אין לו לומר ברכת כהנים: הגה וכן עיקר וכן נראה לי לנהוג אבל המנהג הפשוט אינו כן רק אפי' יחיד אומר אותו כל זמן שראוי לנשיאות כפים ואינו נראה [ב"י בשם מנהיג]:

**Mishna Berura Yomi:**
An individual does not say "Birkat Kohanim" ["The Priestly Blessing"]. Gloss: And this is the principle, and it appears to me that [people should] practice like this. But the the widespread custom is not like this, rather even an individual says it any time it is appropriate to "spread the hands" [i.e. to say Birkat Kohanim], but this does not appear [correct to me]. (Beit Yosef in the name of Manhig [Sefer haManhig by Rabbi Avraham ben Natan, 13th century Provence])
