A minyan is a group of at least 10 Jewish people that come together to pray. It's kinda like a team of prayer buddies that help make sure the prayers are done correctly and in the right way. Having at least 10 people praying together is important because it makes the prayers more powerful and meaningful. Plus, it's always better to have friends to pray with! Usually, minyanim happen in a synagogue, but they can happen anywhere as long as there are enough people. It's a special way for Jewish people to connect with each other and with God.
