Question
Question regarding the second day of Yom Tov in the diaspora. I will be, without a vow, with the help of the Creator, in Israel during the holiday, and I know I need to observe an additional day there. Regarding prayers and meals, should I perform them alone or with family who are not obligated to observe, and in the synagogue, are there different prayers for the holiday and Shabbat, should I pray alone in the synagogue? Thank you to all who respond, may the Creator bless you.
Answer
Hello
Regarding prayer: If there are ten others with you who are obligated to observe the second day of Yom Tov, you can form a minyan with the Yom Tov prayer. However, if you are the only one observing the second day, you should pray alone.
Regarding the meals, there is no problem if others who are not obligated to observe the second day eat with you.
