# During davening it is integral to have a mechitza to separate between men and women. However, there is no need for a mechitza to separate between men and women for non-mitzvot activities such as a mundane meal.<ref>Rav Moshe Feinstein in Igrot Moshe 1:41 cites the Pesachim 86b that speaks about a bride eating a korban pesach together with the rest of the group which would consist of several families and up to 50 or 100 people. He concludes that isn’t necessary to have a mechitza for non-mitzvah activities, such as a meal but excluding davening or learning. However, he has a doubt about wedding meals if they need a mechitza to separate between the men and women.</ref> | |||
