Davening
along with the chazan
Someone who cannot wait until after
kedusha, etc., to begin
davening (e.g.
zman
tefilla is about to pass) can
daven along with the
chazan as he recites his repetition. When the
chazan reaches
kedusha, the person should recite the entire
kedusha including
l'dor vador (according to
nusach Ashkenaz, and
Atah Kodosh in
nusach Sfard). Since nowadays most people follow the custom of reciting the entire
kedusha, doing so together with the
chazan under the circumstances described above is permissible
l'chatchila if a person starts together with the
chazan and
b'dieved if he starts after the
chazan. If a person will not have another opportunity to respond to
kedusha, he is permitted to do so
l'chatchila. The
poskim discuss whether it is permissible to pause during
Shemoneh Esrei until the
chazan reaches
kedusha so as to recite it along with him.

Answering to other kedushos during Shemoneh Esrei
According to some
poskim, it is permissible for a person who is reciting
kedusha in the middle of
Shemoneh Esrei along with the
chazan to recite it in a loud voice. He may not, however, recite the
kedusha d'sidra (in
Uva L'tzion) or
kedusha d'yotzer (in
birchos kriyas Shema) with the
tzibur. According to the Mechaber, it is permissible to respond to the
kedusha of
Musaf during the
Shemoneh Esrei of
Shacharis. According to the Rama and others, one cannot answer the
kedushos of
sidra or
yotzer during
Shemoneh Esrei because those are merely a recounting of
kedusha but not the actual
tefilla. It is, however, permissible to answer to the
kedusha of
Musaf which is a true
kedusha. (He should recite the complete
kedusha, as discussed above.) Some
poskim permit-but do not require-someone who hears
kedusha from a different
minyan to respond in the middle of
Shemoneh Esrei.

Pacing oneself when davening with the chazan
Ideally, someone
davening along with the
Chazan should recite each word together with the
chazan and not read ahead at all. However, he may go ahead once he finishes
kedusha if this will allow him to finish in time to respond
amen to
Shomea Tefilla; otherwise, he should pace himself to recite each
beracha along with the
chazan. Likewise, he may go ahead after
kedusha if he will be able to recite
Modim d'rabonon along with the congregation; otherwise, he should pace himself to recite it and bow along with the
chazan. It is important that he bow for
Modim along with the rest of the congregation so as not to appear to be a heretic who denies the need to serve Hashem. According to some contemporary
poskim, a person who is
davening with the
chazan should recite the entire
Shemoneh Esrei in the same
nusach as the
chazan, or at least use his
nusach until
Hake-l Hakodosh. The
poskim discuss whether
davening with the
chazan can be considered
tefilla b'tzibur, or whether it is viewed merely as an enhanced
tefilla, better than
davening alone but not the same as
davening with the
tzibur.

- Someone who will begin Shemoneh Esrei after the congregation already started may do so only if he will be able to complete the entire tefilla in time to respond to kedusha, the amens following Hakel Hakadosh and Shomea Tefilla, modim derabonon and yehei shmei rabbah.
- The poskim debate whether it is permissible for one who starts with the rest of the congregation to begin if he knows he will not complete his tefilla in time for these responses.
- If a person hears devarim sh'bekedusha from two minyanim or is unable to wait to hear the devarim sh'bekedusha listed above because he must hurry to meet zman tefilla, he should attempt to recite at least some of them in the following order of importance: yehei sheme rabbah, kedusha, barechu, modim d'rabonon, and the amens of Hake-l Hakadosh and Shomea Tefilla.
