Question:
Hello I am wondering what to do regarding minyan. At this point, the shuls are more open. However, I am extremely concerned regarding this because it seems more to me that with the opening there are spikes in the numbers of infections and that a large part of their re-opening is due to either public or private pressure as opposed to there really being a qualitative difference in the health concerns. While there are shuls that are practicing and enforcing a policy of social distancing I am still not comfortable with it.
I prefer to daven at home now without a minyan than to daven in a shul. I would daven with an outdoor minyan but it is becoming harder to find them. What would your opinion be regarding this?
Answer:
There is definite validity to what you are saying, however this is something that you have to discuss with the local Rabbonim, as they know the local situation.
Best wishes
