Any post in this thread not directly related to someone's experience in shul this past Shabbos will result in an immediate one-week suspension. Let's see if we can keep one thread in this board on-topic.

Wow. Tough, but sadly, necessary.

So I went into shul and only half the place was wearing masks and then the rov got up and announced that **shots fired**

"just dump the body in the other thread. Who's next?!"

The rules as outlined here: https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=116348.msg2258947#msg2258947 were completely kept to. There were 10 people in the Bais Medresh and 4 in the Ezras Nashim all wore masks and kept social distancing.

 

Was that the only minyan, or that's the minyan you daven with?

Can you share where? I'm assuming in Lakewood?
 

Not Lakewood. A small community in the NY/NJ area.

No, there were 2 outdoor minyanim.

[avromie7]

No, there were 2 outdoor minyanim.

I guess there wasn't enough time to organize additional minyanim that would presumably take place in the library, gym, and dining room.

If enough people would sign up they would use classrooms too.  Just not so many people signed so far. Many seem to be ok with the outdoor minyanim.

So, did any shuls make up all the laining?

Our shuls (Rcbc) are not, in part due to the risks of prolonged exposure & overall difficulty predicted of outdoor when we start.

The exception will be to lain (part of) a parsha at maftir if it's to make up a Bar Mitzvah.

I know of one backyard minyan in my neighborhood that did. Apparently one person leined from vayakhel through behar, and it took 2 hr 50 min! I know a few people in the minyan who got a psak that they didn't have to make it up, and needless to say they weren't too happy about a ~3 hr leining.

CMIIW but I’m under the impression that you don’t need to catch up once a new Sefer starts

[Traveler718]

A shul near me in Flatbush advertised a minyan that was making up all missed parshiyos. My Rav told me to daven elsewhere.

That is the shita of MAHARAM Mintz but many argue.

BH. Had first Mincha minyan today at work (next door office) since the shutdown. 2-3 people wearing masks, relative (i.e. not everyone exactly 6ft apart) social distancing.

Probably the Bar Mitzva Bochur practiced his Parsha, so he will get a chance to lein a little.

What's the halachic justification for this (assuming this is talking about leining maftir of a different Parsha - rather than the current one)?

Oh. If only the Rebbe's instruction/suggestion that Bar Mitzvah boys shouldn't lein...

Don't know. I'm just translating what he's saying. By us, bar mitzvah boys generally don't lein either.

The suggestion was not to lein or that leining shouldn't take the place of other learning and knowing pertinent halachas?

[ExGingi]

Huh?

Let me edit your sentence, so the instruction/suggestion is clearer:

The suggestion was not to lein since getting occupied with leining (which should only be done by a select few that have the right talents and abilities) would take the time and place of other learning and knowing pertinent halachas (elsewhere the Rebbe says that a Bar Mitzvah bochur should know the entire kitzur Shulchan Oruch by heart, except for Halachos which aren't pertinent, by the time he reaches Bar Mitzvah)?
