So it is very personal, that's the reason why you're acting the way you act

I really hope no one is taking this route without consulting first a competent Ruv.

Ok, you have found a way to protect your behavior

You make an account to go after one member and it is not personal?

1. Where’s the rest of the minyan.
2. Are they deluding themselves thinking they’re practicing social distancing? The degree of cognitive dissonance is mind boggling.

It's raining, there were 2 on a balcony and 2 under a minivan tailgate.

Regardless if it’s dangerous or not from the corona standpoint, these outdoor minyanim will cause people to get sick with colds or worse

Good luck getting that taken care of with this pandemic

[chevron]

It's also a by product of less people on the road, less accidents etc

The ones on the balcony may not count for a minyan if they can't see each other.

I've seen one minyan that I - a critic of perverted chumros - was comfortable with its existence. 12-14 individuals who live in houses around a central square all walked out of their homes at predetermined times, and joined the minyan from the front of their own properties. No one was ever within 20 or 30 feet from the next-closest person. The rov of the area, after seeing the setup, gave his approval, given that the minyan remain small and would disband should it grow beyond that very-safe manner. He did not join, though. I assume because he has told most of his neighborhood to daven at home, and he would want to be in the same boat as them.

I think this minyan has a few key necessities:

• It's held outdoors, with everyone on (or in front of) their own property, so there is no danger of contamination from the chairs/tables/door handles
• Parents were told not to allow any children to be outside at the time, to avoid children walking back and forth between the adults
• The distance between each person was 20-40 feet, far enough to keep the virus away, and far enough that even should a journalist show up, there would be no angle in which it would seem that people are too close to each other
• It's not a gathering, as each person is merely standing in front of their property. Thus, it is not in violation of the law
• Most importantly, it has the approval of the local rov. Without this, I believe that all justifications would be moot

What do you think about such a minyan. And please don't say "stop being stupid" or some other generic remark. I would like sensible feedback on this minyan.

Not sure where you are geographically, but eventually people will get sick from the weather.

and stay home one way or the other
except those that tovel their baby's in the מקוה ארי before the bris will continue to daven outside

[YitzyS]

What happens on Mo/Th?

There is no kriyas haTorah. On shabbos, they had a 40 minute break for everyone to go inside and lein.

Obviously, this is weather permitting. The point is to maintain the minyan only if it is 100 percent safe to do so. Not 99. 100.
