#The minhag is to say selichot before Shacharit even when it is after Olot even though Tadir would demand that it is said afterwards.<ref>Mekor Neeman 1:520 explains that we say selichot first so that it is as close to Olot as possible. Rivevot Efraim 8:234:6 notes that seemingly we should say shacharit first but such is the minhag.</ref> | |||
#If someone missed selichot and could either daven with a minyan or say selichot first and then daven by himself he should daven with the minyan and then say selichot by himself.<ref>Rivevot Efraim 8:234:6</ref> | |||
