Minyan Masterclass Pt. 4: Should The Chazan Wait For 5, 8, or 9 People To Finish Shmoneh Esrei Before Starting Chazaras Hashatz?

Can people count towards the Minyan if they are still Davening Shmoneh Esrei and cannot answer to the Chazzan?Does that mean that the Chazzan cannot start Chazaras Hashatz until 9 others have finished Shemoneh Esrei and can answer his Brochos?In this episode we explore that great contradiction of the Shulchan Aruch in Siman 55 vs. Siman 124. The 3 ways of answering the contradiction. And finally what that means practically for the Chazzan who wants to start Chazaras Hashatz whilst people are still Davening.
