If someone (eg sandek, mohel) is in Shul (the synagogue) whose presence stops the kehillo (congregation) saying tachanun, why is it that we do say tachanun in Selichos but not in davenning (the prayer service)?
Answer
There is no connection between Tachanun in Selichos to the regular Tachanun, as you can see that on Erev Rosh HaShana we say Tachanun in Selichos, yet we do not say Tachanun in Davening. The Tachanun we say by Davening is not said when there is a Sandek or mohel in the Shul, yet the Tachanun we say in Selichos, which has nothing to do with the Tachanun in Davening is said when there is a Sandak or Mohel in Shul.
