Question
Hello Rabbi, A person praying Shacharit sees that the congregation has started the Amidah and realizes he won't finish in time, so he waits for the chazzan's repetition to start with him. The chazzan starts at a fast pace and quickly reaches Kedusha while the person is still in the blessing of Magen Avraham. How should the person act: - Should he respond to Kedusha? - Should he remain silent and listen with the intention to fulfill his obligation? - Should he stand on his toes? Is it considered that he prayed with a minyan because of Kedusha?
Answer
Hello Rabbi and a good month!
If he is not in 'Mechayei HaMeitim', he cannot respond to Kedusha with the congregation.
He should remain in his place silently and listen to Kedusha from the chazzan.
