[Avodah] Limiting gathering numbers

[Zev Sero]

There is a letter from Rabbi Akiva Eiger (Igeres Sofrim #29) about a 
cholera epidemic, in which he suggests that minyanim be limited to 15 
men each, davening in shifts starting at dawn, and each person be 
assigned a minyan that he is to attend.  He also suggested that the 
government be asked to station a policeman at the shul door to enforce 
the 15-man maximum.
