Question
Sometimes in our community, two people come to the synagogue who need to pray before the amud, such as during the year of mourning or on a yahrzeit. Is it preferable for one to yield to the other, or is it better to split the minyan into two [provided there are enough worshippers for both]?
Answer
Shalom Rav
It is better for everyone to pray together, and for one of them to yield his right.
