Minyan Now lets you quickly create a minyan, a group of 10 Jewish males, where ever you may be, at any time of the day. Those who download Minyan Now will be able to request to form a Minyan within the next hour or so. You specify the time and location and it will alert other Jewish men in the area about the Minyan. After 10 respond that they are able to make the Minyan, the Minyan will be formed and you can daven. This works great at airports, train stations, sports events, and other areas where there are likely 10 or more Jewish men, but no official shul or synagogue in the area. This is cross platform and works with other platforms. It is also integrated into the RustyBrick Siddur. Note: You must enable location services for this to work. The default distance to be notified of a Minyan is 1 mile, you can change this distance within your settings.
