Question
If someone is fasting on a Yahrzeit, should they say 'Aneinu' during Mincha?
Answer
One says 'Aneinu' in the silent prayer but does not say 'Aneinu' in the chazzan's repetition unless there are ten fasting.
Source
Shulchan Aruch, Siman 565, Seif 1: "An individual says 'Aneinu' in 'Shomea Tefila', whether he accepted the fast upon himself or is praying with the congregation on a public fast; similarly, the shaliach tzibur who arranges his prayer silently is like an individual and says it in 'Shomea Tefila'." However, in the chazzan's repetition, he does not say it since there are not ten fasting, as explained in Shulchan Aruch, Siman 566, Seif 3: "The shaliach tzibur does not say 'Aneinu' as a separate blessing unless there are ten fasting in the synagogue; and even if there are ten fasting in the city, since there are not ten fasting in the synagogue, he does not."
