Who says Tefilat haDerech?

Hi,

Although we say regarding certain prayers, 'ברב עם הדרת מלך,' that there is greater honor for Gd when people perform mitzvot in unison, Tefilat haDerech is different in that it is a personal request for aid. Therefore, each person should recite Tefilat haDerech personally.

Those who are not capable of reciting the words may hear them from others and reply Amen.

(Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 193:1; Mishneh Berurah 193:5)

May we soon see the rebuilding of the Beit haMikdash,
Mordechai
