Q. I recently read that the Gerrer Rebbe summoned a special minyan to his home to recite Hatavas Chalom (“Making good a Dream” The prayer said when someone has a bad dream).
Do you really need a minyan for Hatavas Chalom in sidurim is mentioned only three people, and as far as I can remember that is the traditional Minhag. Is that correct?
A. The usual tradition as is written in sidurim and other sefarim is to require only three people.
Horav Yaakov Hirschman Shlit’a mentioned that we don’t question Rebbes and we also don’t necessarily learn from their particular practices.
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that one should follow his family and community traditions.
