Vatikin

Question

what is preferable, praying vatikin by yourself or praying with a minyan?

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

I assume that the question is if it is better to pray Vatikin by yourself or later with a Minyan. The answer is to pray Vatikin by yourself. The proper time for Vatikin is to pray the Amida (Shemona Esrey) exactly 2 minutes after the listed sunrise. The purpose of the 2 minutes is to wait for the sun to appear completely above the horizon. AA
