Question
Shalom Rav,
If a person arrived late to the prayer and is praying together with the chazarat ha-shatz, and the shatz is rushing in the blessing of Magen Avraham, so that a gap is created and the shatz reaches Kedusha before the person does, how should he conduct himself during Kedusha? What should he do/say?

Answer
Shalom u’vracha
If the person praying does not reach Kedusha together with the shatz, he should stop at the point where he is, listen to the Kedusha from the chazzan, and thereby fulfill his obligation under the rule of “one who hears is as one who responds” (shomea ke’one).
