I remember Rav Mordechai Eliyahu using sitting with one's legs crossed as an example of a casual behavior unsuited to the dignity of the synagogue.<br /><br />Your father was a S'fardi? ;-)Mordechai Y.

My rabbi had a huge tantrum in shul at musaf because people were talking during chazaros hashatz (sp?) and it felt very weird, but on the other hand, why would anyone talk in shul? Because when else do we have to talk to each other. We need our rabbis to remind us, obviously.therapydochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05088184676439578876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-86531118283428050122010-03-16T14:05:33.227-04:002010-03-16T14:05:33.227-04:00Laya,

I would guess this would not impact not using it as a shortcut<br />KT<br />Joel RichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-21366461113989264912010-03-16T12:09:09.974-04:002010-03-16T12:09:09.974-04:00I have a question:

Does this mean that the Women's Section of the shul is not subject to the same halachot as the rest of the shul? If so, do I have I erred in telling kids that(women's section of)a shul may not be used as a shortcut? Especially not during davening. <br /><br />The kids involved are not mine, I hasten to add.
