Comments on counting for more than one minyan

Post

counting for more than one minyan

+3
−0

If one is in an open area in which more than one minyan is meeting, can he be counted for both minyanim simultaneously?

If, at the kotel, one minyan has started and then someone leaves, and I am there davening with another minyan but I can hear the first, can I count for both? Or if I have finished davening and more minyanim start, can I volunteer myself to more than one at a time to count as a tenth?

I know that according to some opinions, one can be asleep and counted for the minyan, so it isn't that I actively have to answer to anything or even be aware.

Are there any formulated t'shuvot on this?

associated questions that arose in discussion: can a person answer to two simultaneous chatzi kaddishs from two different minyanim? What about if one minyan just said borchu and one is about to say ashrei (different points in davening, same kaddish). Also, can one force someone to stay in a room by forming a minyan around him so he is the 10th and therefore can't leave? Can the minyan start with a sleeping person as the tenth or does one have to be part of the minyan and then continue to be counted if he falls asleep?
