	Minyan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A minyan (Hebrew: plural minyanim) is traditionally a quorum of ten or more adult (over the age of Bar Mitzvah) male Jews for the purpose of communal prayer; a minyan is often held within a synagogue, but may be (and often is) held elsewhere.
		According to halakha (Jewish law), a minyan is required for many parts (D'varim SheB'Kedusha "Holy utterances") of the communal prayer service, including Barechu, Kaddish, repetition of the Amidah, the Priestly Blessing, and the Torah and Haftarah readings.
		That said, communal prayer, which requires a minyan, is historically viewed as an almost-obligation—while not a requirement, it is regarded as anti-social to not join in communal prayer.

		Strabo (9.2.40) says that some of the Minyans emigrated to Iolcus (the city in Thessaly on the coast of the Gulf of Pagasae), and suggests that this could be the reason why the ARGONAUTS were called 'Minyans'.
