Is it preferable to pray Mussaf on time or with a minyan
Question
In our settlement, there is a late minyan for Mussaf prayer. There are activities between the Torah reading and Mussaf, and often it ends up being a bit after the time listed in the calendar as the end time for Mussaf ideally. The question is: is it preferable to pray Mussaf alone on time, or to wait for the minyan and pray with them?
Answer
It is preferable to pray alone on time.
