/ˈmɪn.jən/ · noun
(Judaism) The minimum number of ten (male) adult Jews required for a communal religious service..
So without my visit, if Simon didn't attend, a minyan would be hard to come by.
As mourners cannot attend synagogue during shiva, a minyan gathers for morning, afternoon, and evening services in their home.
New people assume leadership positions as required and stay around for as long as the minyan meets their needs.
Tefillin are not used on Sabbaths and holidays, so unless you attend a minyan on weekday mornings or grew up in a home where men prayed daily, this practice may be unfamiliar to you.
Use minyan when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
