In general, someone who misses a complete day's counting the omer continues to count without preceding his count with the b'racha (benediction) normally recited for the mitzva of counting. (In fact whether he should recite it is unclear, and we rule that, because of that inclarity, he should not.) I'm wondering about a shatz (leader of the prayer service). In many synagogues, he recites the b'racha aloud (also having in mind to exempt anyone listening). What if the shatz has missed a day? Presumably, like anyone who missed a day, he doesn't recite the b'racha aloud — but is there an exception made for a shatz, whether so as not to embarrass him or for some other reason?
