A person should make a great effort to daven in a [[minyan]] because of the tremendous holiness of [[Davening]] in a [[minyan]] and when one prays in a [[minyan]] one's Tefillot are accepted before Hashem. <ref>S”A 90:9 writes that a person should make a serious effort to daven with a [[minyan]] and one is only exempt in extenuating circumstances. Mishna Brurah 90:28 emphasizes the important of [[Davening]] with a [[minyan]] and that the most important part of [[Davening]] with a minayn is [[Shemoneh Esrei]]. Kitzur S"A 12:7 writes that Hashem doesn't reject the [[Tefillah]] of a congregation even if there are wicked people in the congregation. See Halichot Shlomo (chapter 5 note 52 pg 66) who records an incident in which for health reasons a certain person was only able to leave the house once a day and Rav Shlomo Zalman said he can use that one time to go to work instead of going to daven in a [[minyan]] because being social will make him feel better. </ref>
