SOME LAWS AND CUSTOMS OF SLICHOT AND THE MONTH OF ELUL

The Rav Name: Rabbi Meir Arad

What should be done during the days of Slichot when the congregation is up to the Ashrei prayer, but there is not yet a minyan of 10 men?

The congregation should recite the Slichot prayers, and when enough people have arrived to form a minyan, Kaddish should be recited even if they are in the middle of Slichot, and then the prayers can continue.
