Question
Is it permissible to recite the Thirteen Attributes and Selichot in Aramaic after the congregation, meaning immediately after the congregation has finished?
Answer
Selichot in Aramaic can be recited either after the congregation or before, as long as there is a minyan that recites it, and it is associated with them (according to Mishnah Berurah, Siman 59, like Pri Chadash regarding Kedushat Yotzer which requires a congregation, and Kaf HaChaim there disagrees and is stringent). The Thirteen Attributes are recited only with a congregation, as is done now.
