Minyan
In Judaism, a minyan (Hebrew: מִנְיָן[minˈjan] lit. noun count, number; pl. מִניָנִים minyanim [minjanˈim]) is the quorum of ten Jewish adults required for certain religious obligations. In more traditional streams of Judaism only men may constitute a minyan; in more modern streams women are also counted.
The most common activity requiring a minyan is public prayer. Accordingly, the term minyan in contemporary Judaism has taken on the secondary meaning of referring to a prayer service.
Sources
The source for the requirement of minyan is recorded in the Talmud. The word minyan itself comes from the Hebrew root maneh מנה meaning to count or to number. The word is related to the Aramaic word mene, numbered, appearing in the writing on the wall in Daniel 5:25.
Babylonian Talmud
The Babylonian Talmud (Megillah 23b) derives the requirement of a minyan of ten shomer Shabbat for Kiddush Hashem and Devarim she-Bikdusha, "matters of sanctity", by combining three scriptural verses using the rule of gezerah shavah:

Pleasantly Saying The Most Terrible Things
by: MoneenEverything's changing
Can't wait to see you when you die
Everything's changing
Can't wait to see you when you die
And with things changing
So much, so fast, so once, so while
And I'm still waiting to see you
When you die alone
And wait for nothing now
Sit alone and wait to die (to die)
Nothing changes...
So stop, so still, so cut and dry
I'm still waiting to say the truth that I can't wait to watch you die
I know you heard me say it now a million times
To say die alone and wait for nothing now
Wait! That's just not right!
To sit alone and wait for you to see that I have nothing left to say (to say)
To sit alone and wait for you to say (to say)
To sit alone and wait for you to say (to say)
To see that I have nothing left to say (to say)
Y-e-a-h

Y-e-a-h

(I can't wait till you die)
Summer's almost here...
Almost here...
Wake up! Summer's almost here
Wake up! Summer's almost here
Wake up! Summer's almost here
(I can't wait till you die)
Wake up! Summer's almost here
