Q. I’m an M.D. and I often have to be in the hospital on a night shift. During this time of the year I’m barely able to make it to a Shacharit minyan when it is still on time for saying Krias Shema.
Can I say the Selichoth after Shacharith on a later minyan?
A. Indeed one may say Selichos after Shacharis when in need, and it is better to pray them with a minyan, so the most crucial 13 Midos (Principles of Compassion) could be also recited.
