Mixed Minyan
Question
Nowadays, when sitting next to a woman on a bus is seen as something normal, and with the common presence today of women and men in workplaces—something accepted without a shadow of a doubt (except among the Haredi)—is there still a problem today with having a mixed minyan?
Answer
I assume you’re not talking about counting women toward the minyan, but rather about mixed seating when there is a minyan of men. In that regard, in my opinion there is no prohibition. It’s a custom.
Discussion on Answer
There is not necessarily a problem. But that is a more complicated topic.
