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 [[Amidah - Shemonah Esrei|Shemonah 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> | |||
