Hey VB, ask your rabbi son… does Group FaceTime qualify as a minyan?

It does not, but the obligation to pray with a minyan is suspended in a time of danger.

We don’t use electronics on Sabbath and Yom Tov, but I have seen pleas from people who live alone and don’t want to be at seder by themselves. Normally they would attend a community seder or be invited to join another family. Some Reform and Conservative congregations are setting up live streams for people to join in at home.
