[Avodah] Machnisei Rachamim

[Rich, Joel]

Actually, this bring to mind a halacha that I heard that one davening in private shouldn't say any parts of the davening that are in Aramaic because when you daven b'yichidut you are relying on angels to take up your tefilla.  And angels don't understand Aramaic!  But when davening in a minyan, the shechina is there directly.  If this is an authentic halacha, it seems to contradict the view that we shouldn't be (and can't be) davening to angels in the first place!  So I ask, is this an actual halacha?  And if so, how do we reconcile with the angel issue?

Bottom Line-there are sources both ways and those who try to reconcile and those who declare a major.  I'm struck by some of the rationalizations and wonder how many people who say it actually think the rationalization.
