Question

Hello, If during the evening prayer a person sees that the congregation has started reciting Shema and he doesn't have time to find another minyan, should he start the blessings of Shema or wait to pray the Amidah with the congregation?

Answer

Hello

If you can finish reciting Shema and its blessings before the congregation begins the Amidah, do so.

If you cannot, wait for the Amidah with the congregation, and then recite Shema with its blessings.
