Q. I have recently become the Rabbi of a small community. Until now, I have always davened with a Vasikin minyan. My community though, davens at a regular time. Is it more important for me to daven with my community when they daven or better to continue to daven Vasikin and come and sit in my Rabbinical seat afterwards and learn while they daven?
A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that it is correct for the Rabbi of a community to daven together with them, as is usually expected and foreseen in the normal work and duties of a Rabbi.
Usually Rabbi – Congregation Contracts contain clauses establishing parameters and conditions regarding the above.
