Q. I am staying BE”H in a bungalow colony and there is only one minyan and they daven early. I’m obliged to daven with them, and also start Shabbat early?
A. Shulchan Aruch (O.H. 263: 12) and Mishna Berura (51) maintain that if there is only one shul in town and they daven early, the whole town has to follow.
However, Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that even if there is only one early minyan at the bungalow colony, due to the unsettled nature of these summer minyonim, were people constantly come and go, one may not be necessarily drawn after the minyan in case of need.
