Question
In the yeshiva where I study, there are evening prayer services until two in the morning. Is it obligatory to pray at the earliest minyan to recite the Shema before midnight, or can one pray at one-thirty or two if it is a regular minyan?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
One must pray in a minyan where the Shema is recited before midnight.
