Question
Hello Rabbi, A person who has the option to pray Mincha on Shabbat in a minyan where Ashrei and Uva LeTzion Goel have already been recited, but the Torah reading has not yet started, or to wait for a later minyan - what should he do?
Answer
Hello Rabbi
There is an advantage to praying the entire prayer with the congregation from beginning to end.
There is a special merit in reciting 'Uva LeTzion' with the congregation, as it contains the Kedusha Desidra, and according to the essence of the law, it should be recited with the congregation.
However, it cannot be said that this is an obligation, so act according to the necessity of the time and ability.
