Rabbi Braun: I Can But Won’t Join ‘Porch Minyanim’
"It baffles me," Rabbi Yosef Braun says about the porch minyanim being held despite the prohibition of the Crown Heights Beis Din against davening outdoors. "Besides the health concerns, there's a host of halachic concerns." Audio

All the chumros people are keeping are worthless if they do not listen to the Rabbonim’s Psak. Where does it say in the Torah that your sechel is greater!! ALL the Rabomin almost worldwide gave a psak and as hard as it may be to keep it, it is an aveira to disregarded. So go ahead daven on porch minyonim because it makes you feel good and stop keeping mitzvos deRabonon cos that is what you are doing. Great lesson to your kids!

He started by saying not to do any name calling. He finished by saying that if you do the proper social distancing , it is on your achrayus, he didnt say it’s against the Rabonim.

Thank you, Rabbi Braun.
It’s amazing how Rabbi Braun breaks it down to a science.Additionally he does it in a very respectful and non confrontational manner. Let’s make the Rebbe proud and not make a chilliul Hashem!

(writing from Israel so Yom Tov has ended)
While be Melamed Z’chus on those not listening, it’s very clear not to do any minyan. Anyhwere.
If you did not hear this, listen again.
Kol Hakavod!!!
I saw how those bochrim are dovening. Approximately 50% of them are standing 6 feet apart the rest of the. Bochrim are standing 2 feet apart.
The problem be with 6 feet apart Is there are winds blowing the germs from one person to the next so 6 feet apart is Not enough.
