Seclusion with a group of men and women
Question
Dear Rabbi! My place of employment is conducting a certain type of exercise, where we have to come to the factory at 11 at night and stay there till 3 in the morning. There will be about 40 people there. Nobody from the outside will be able to come in during the time of the exercise. Is there a problem with the prohibition of seclusion?
Answer
Dear …
Since there is going to be a large number of people there, specifically, more than three representatives of each sex, there is no prohibition of seclusion.
