The minyan will always have a minimum of ten participating by stream. Rabbi Weiss has ruled, based on rabbinic and halakhic sources, that – on a temporary, emergency basis, and not as a permanent change – a minyan may be comprised of ten Jews at different locations linked over the internet. Therefore, the services will still include those parts that require a minyan and will fulfill that obligation. This includes the mourner’s kaddish.
