So if you're late to mincha and the tzibur has already said Ashrei and half-Kaddish, do you go directly into the silent Amidah so that you can say it with the tzibur and respond to the chazzan during Kedushah, or do you recite Ashrei first (which takes a good chunk of time)?
Also, I sort of asked this before, but I want to be clearer this time and ask again. Is it assur to daven/ say Tehillim during Kaddish? Does this mean that if you're still on Ashrei when the chazzan begins half-Kaddish, you stop and wait for him to finish (without answering)? What if you're on Tachanun when the chazzan begins kaddish and wants to finish up the davening?
