The Rebbe said that merely starting Tefillah with the Tzibbur constituted Tefillah B’Tzibbur. What is the source for this?

 

The Rebbe said it’s מעין תפלה בציבור. It is not considered תפלה בציבור in the literal sense.

This idea has parallels in many places. See also שו״ת בית יעקב ע. This has been expounded upon in the התמים magazine of סיון תשס״א.
