Question
Is it permissible to say the prayer 'Acheinu Kol Beit Yisrael' alone, or is it a prayer that is only recited in a congregation?
Answer
Shalom Rav
The prayer 'Acheinu Kol Beit Yisrael' can be recited alone.
There are only a few prayers that must be said in a congregation and cannot be recited alone. Such as the repetition of the Shatz and Barechu. Also, prayers in Aramaic like Kaddish and parts of the Selichot recited in Aramaic.
