[Avodah] Selichos - Especially before Midnight

[Michael Poppers]

In Avodah Digest V23#209, R'Micha replied to me:
> The question was skipping Berikh Shemei when one is not the sha"tz and no
one else would notice. <
When something (and I previously had noted the portions of Q'dushah which
[quoting from MB 125:2] "nowadays" are said by the "qahal" as well as
"B'rich Shmei") that is part of the nusach hat'fila is supposed to be said
by the tzibbur, it is my understanding that one is poreish min hatzibbur by
evidently not saying it.  Perhaps (as implied by Micha publicly and fleshed
out by him privately) if one properly disguises one's not saying it (e.g.
re "B'rich Shmei," one says something else or even just moves one's lips
for whatever part is said silently), one thereby works around any issue of
"lo sisgod'du."

> The parallel would be something I do every Shabbos: Daven nusach Ashkenaz
when saying tefillah belachash, but answering Qedushah with the rest of the
minyan in nusach "Sfard". <
With respect, that "parallel" isn't a parallel at all, as we're talking
about what the tzibbur does together, not what is done "belachash."  A
parallel might be your saying "Na'aritz'cha" while the qahal is saying
"Keser."

Gut Moeid and all the best from
