Prayer and Blessings
Can an individual pray the Ma'ariv service at home?
Question
I wanted to ask whether an individual can pray the Ma'ariv service at home, and if so, until what time, and whether there is anything that may not be recited in the prayer as is said with a congregation.
Answer
Greetings and blessings,
In extenuating circumstances, it is permitted to pray even as an individual. The time for Ma'ariv is until dawn. One prays the entire service without Kaddish and Barchu.
Blessings, Benjamin Shmueli
