In my dream shul:
*The baal koireh is good, well prepared with a pleasant voice, but occasionally makes mistakes.
*People bring their children, some of whom are messy and/or make a noise.
*People are generally courteous, but sometimes leave dirty tissues around, don’t push their chairs back under the table every time.
*Most people come on time or early, but some don’t.
*The shaliach tzibbur will be neither too fast nor too slow, and will progress at a speed that suits the oilom.
*People don’t shmuz, but don’t go absolutely crazy if somebody does. It’s simply accepted that they shouldn’t.
*People generally mind their own business unless a really serious matter comes up.
*People don’t discipline other people’s children. Ever.
And whilst some of the things I am willing to accept in my dream shul may be less than perfect, at least I’m davening with the sort of people I generally like to keep company with. Human Beings. Fallible, occasionally irritating Human Beings, but who are generally considerate and value their davening and their bein odom le’chaveiroi.
