Question
A person joined the minyan through a window or similar, and in the middle of the Avot blessing moved to a place where he could not see the congregation at all (another room) due to noise that disturbed his concentration. Is the fact that he started with the congregation enough to consider his prayer as a prayer with the congregation? Thank you
Answer
Hello Rabbi
His status is like someone who was in the synagogue at the beginning of the prayer and then went home and continued to pray there.
The beginning was with the congregation, and the continuation is alone. The beginning does not benefit the continuation.
