It's okay I'm not offended.

You can text me at 4am if you need access to the world's top ENT surgeons, eye surgeons, neurosurgeon etc

If you would know the pain that I go to on behalf of others, you would see why I tear down the walls.

For my self... Eh I'm just a drunk.. but man it's real bad what some people go through.

It’s almost Sefira time and R”L the magaifa is already here, let’s work towards נהגו כבוד זה לזה so that we can immediately experience פסקו מלמות
I meant no disrespect. I was trying to make a light observation. As I've mentioned previously, this line format is typical of Conservative Charlie Kirk on Twitter. https://twitter.com/charliekirk11

I write the way I do because I like to keep to narrative open.
All to often, people's writing resembles a telegram =stop=

I don't like the conversation to be bunched up. I like to leave it open with space, room for introspection and elucidation.

Just wondering

I see how some people are really listening to the Rabanim about no minyanim, closing the shul....

Do these same people listen to the Rabanim with the same zealoutness when it comes to other things?

No he’s saying that if sometimes you talk in shul, you should be fine with murdering people.

Absolutely. We're all about zealoutness. The thing I'm most zealout about is bed time. Did your parents know you were still up?

Just out of curiosity, globally, where are there still minyanim?

I’ve heard they have in Israel from porches and at army bases, plus three daily ones at the Kosel.

There are some porch minyonim in NY and Lakewood as well. You just need 10 people living in close proximity and someone with a loud voice.

Not so simple. According to the Aruch HaShulchan (which Rav Wosner Also held) 10 men on 10 different porches cannot be metzaref as a minyan.
Even according to the shita of the the Mishna Berura, Rav Moshe Shterbuch says that the shaliach tzibbur needs to be able to see nine other mispalelim when standing to mizrach...

Can't really understand that. But in any event our shliach tzibbur was west of most of the minyan so I'm sure he could see most.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

The answer should be obvious. We are discussing a case of Pikuach Nefesh. Yes, that calls for special zealousness.

But you need to use your brains. If a guy would miss a minyan for something non-essential (e.g. travel for pleasure) than his zealousness is meaningless.

If a guy is zealous about making a minyan, against rabanim, but can't get up in time for netz (which is better than tzibur) than he isn't legit.
 
But B"H thousands of Jews who are serious about davening bzibur are davening at home due to the situation.
