Question
When there is a minimal minyan of ten in the synagogue, and one falls asleep, should he be awakened for Kaddish and Kedusha?
Answer
Ideally, he should be awakened so that he is at least dozing. If it is impossible to awaken him, when one is asleep, Kaddish can be recited, but the repetition of the Amidah should not be said; instead, everyone should perform a kind of short Mincha where the chazan begins the Amidah prayer aloud until after "HaKel HaKadosh," and they say Kedusha in their prayer so that the blessings of the repetition are not in vain.
