lower – There is a difference between joining the tzibbur, and just having a minyan. Going to the cemetery or making a siyum does not qualify as a tzibbur. The same for a wedding. A minyan is not worthless. We can still have chazzoras hashatz without a tzibbur. The reasons you gave seem out of sorts with what is going on. I would venture that the Rosh Yeshiva – like Haimy – finds it inspiring to daven outside with his neighbors. May we all be inspired to pour our tefillos into our souls.
