6073 – Inyan When No Minyan?

A. The following rules apply when reciting Selichos without a minyan (for both men and women): 1) When reciting E-l Melech, some poskim hold that the words Zechor lanu ha-yom bris shelosh esrei are omitted[9]. 2) The 13 midos are omitted[10]. 3) Machei u’masei (recited towards the end of the Selichos) and any other segment which is in Aramaic is omitted. (Mateh Efrayim 581:21; Mishnah Berurah 581:4.)
