Question

A person has two minyanim to choose from: one where there is a mohel or a father who circumcised his son today, exempting them from reciting Tachanun, and another minyan where Tachanun is recited. Which minyan should he attend?  

Answer

It is preferable to pray in a minyan where Tachanun is recited, as the merit of the prayer followed by Tachanun is very great, and such a prayer is more readily accepted.
