This summer when I was a vacation I was in Horseshoe Bend AZ, Bryce Canyon, Zion and Las Vegas Airport and in all of the above we bumped other Jewish travelers and made a spontaneous minyan for Mincha &/or Mairiv.
Where was the most off the beaten path where you had a pop up minyan?
And where was the the most off the beaten place you met a Jew?August 31, 2020 2:19 pm at 2:19 pm #1897275Sam KleinParticipantHave you ever met a new walking through a empty quiet forest doing hisbodedus and talking to Hashem like ten Nachman of Breslov used to do every day
August 31, 2020 4:37 pm at 4:37 pm #1897334Reb EliezerParticipantSam Klein, how do you want to meet someone in an empty forest?
August 31, 2020 4:54 pm at 4:54 pm #1897336Sam KleinParticipantMany people have gone on long forest hike paths and passed other families or camp groups going on the same path rather with biking or walking just the other group was on they path out of the forest already cause they started their hike earlier.
Start your hike today and bring yourself closer to Hashem as you start to talk and feel closer to Hashem on a one to one relationship and this is actually what hisbodedus is and once a person has reached this level you can ask Hashem for anything you need and to help you complete your hike through this temporary world (forest) so you can come up to the real world and serve Hashem face to face
No I’m not Breslov at all and never plan on going to uman even on a tourist trip in middle of the year. A person doesn’t need kevorim of gedolim or segulahs to get help from Hashem. All a person needs to do is call out open heartedly to Hashem for help as we say on Ashrei 3 times a day karov Hashem meaning “Hashem is close to all who call out to him, to those who call out to him wholeheartedly”
May we all start to turn directly to Hashem for help in our times of need and stop depending on middlemen agents (Rebbes doctors segulahs, lawyers etc….)

When I was a bucher many moons ago I hiked the New Hampshire part of the Appalachian Trail. We met two other frum hikers one day and benched with mezumin.
PS you never wrote where you had your pop up minyan.August 31, 2020 6:29 pm at 6:29 pm #1897350Reb EliezerParticipantThe Berdichever ztz’l says that when we do a mitzva with joy so we are happy below, we pass on that happiness to above and we can ask anything we desire and it wil be listened to.

September 2, 2020 12:33 pm at 12:33 pm #1897931mentsch1ParticipantSuqian city, jiangsu province china
I was almost certainly the only one in this city of 4M+ wearing a yarmulka. A Canadian man came over to tell me he “was a member of the tribe”
I also got to daven in a prayer room at Incheon airport south korea with a bunch of muslims
The main wall was very ornate and pointed east. They were bowing east. I wanted to point out to them that technically mecca (and jerusalem) was west, but alas they didnt speak englishSeptember 3, 2020 7:12 pm at 7:12 pm #1898440AhvasChinomParticipantMincha minyan running into Isr tour group, top of table mountain, Cape Town.
