I know minyamin are legally allowed now, but is your husband going ?

Edit: this question is really intended for those who have been seriously social distancing ...also can you include where you are from ? Five Towns...

I live OOT and yard minyanim were recently allowed - with masks, physical distancing, and small groups. My husband does attend. Can’t imagine it’s worse than the grocery store.

Yes of course. He went grocery shopping for me. Why can't he go to minyan with a mask?

If he finds one with 10 people only. Our family alone is 4 people , but you need to have 6 other committed people and also access to a Sefer Torah and someone that could Lein.

Hes been going to a park minyan with strict SD. He will NOT be stepping foot into our shul at this time. if they would strictly SD, there wouldn't be room for more than barely a minyan. (Small shul)
If they continue the outside minyan he will go.

Lovely to know that your husbands in NYC who have been going to minyan have been breaking the law. That makes me so furious.

For the rest of us law-abiding citizens, it will be difficult to organize minyanim of only 10 people. The rabbeim in my LI town are working out the logistics. My husband, who is a front-line worker, will absolutely not attend an unorganized minyan of more than 10 men.

We were strictly social distancing and started minyan this week. The Rav allows only exactly 10 men inside.

Only with 10 or less.
We have maariv in our backyard so we can control the numbers.
All other minyanim it’s hard because too many ppl.
Sometimes he davens in a neighbor yard where he can hear davening and answer.
We can’t put together our own minyan because we don’t have a Torah and ppl will just go to larger minyanim.
He won’t join any minyan inside.
I feel worst for my son bec most of his friends live in setups where porch minyanim never stopped.

Exactly ten sounds complicated. Too bad they didn't allow 11 or 12 so you have some backup in case of a no show.
We are not at that point in our neighborhood yet, but are hoping to have backyard minyanim worked out by Shavuos iyH.

Outdoor minyan only. His indoor minyan never closed (or if it did only for a brief time) but I advised him not to go. We’ve been social distancing and recently started letting the kids play outside with friends.

Live in Jackson.

How is this technically going to work? There aren't thousands of sefer torahs available for hundreds of micro minyanim.
