Minyan on Shabbat after the time for Shema
Question
In the area where I live, there is no minyan before the end of the second time for Shema on Shabbat. What should I do?
Answer
Shalom Rav. Pray Shacharit on time individually; if the synagogue is open, it's preferable there, and if not, then at home. Afterwards, go to the synagogue for the Torah reading and Musaf prayer with a minyan. It is advisable to try to organize an earlier minyan in your area.
