If you are at the front of a shul and the Kohanim who Duchan are behind you, are you Yoitze?
can you be yoitze Birkas Konanm when the Kohanims backs are facing you?
No you cant. The Gemoro says that people in the country do not have to come to listen to birchas kohanim because since they away, we are Moitzy them. Reb Moshe Feinstein says that this is only people who are away so they are an Oines, but people in the shul can walk to the back. So much so that he even lets you stop in the middle of Shemonei Esrei and move to a position in the line of fire of the Kohanim to be Yoitze the chiyuv of Birchas Kohanim.
