Why would a tradition insist that nine people aren’t enough? In this episode, host Shai Davidai explores how the minyan transformed community from something optional into something structured. More than a prayer quorum, the minyan is a social technology that makes people show up, makes absence visible, and reminds Jews that community is something we sustain—not something we simply consume.
