Q. As Lag Baomer is approaching. Can one get married during these pandemic days? How?
A. I has been suggested and likely already done, that one may celebrate a wedding at the courtyard or the parking lot of a building, while the immediate family and a few guest remain on the balconies above, and see the ceremony below. The officiating Rabbi and the witnesses would have to be below, at a safe distant. The wine cup would not be handed directly to the chosson rather it would be placed after the brocho is recited on a small adjoining table to be picked up by him.
Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit'a opinion is that the rest of the people that make up the required minyan, should also preferably be on the ground below not above, at a safe distance.
Rabbi A. Bartfeld as advised by Horav Shlomo Miller Shlit'a.
