Q. See question above. Is there value to fasting until chatzos on B’ahav and or diminishing food in ones meals?

A. Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that there is even if one does not join a minyan for Selichos. However not only the learning should be maintained but the right intentions mentioned.
