Reply To: davening in public

Seriously!? Davening in public is a tremendous kiddish hashem! It says “וראו כל עם הערת כי שם ה׳ נקרא עליך וירא מימיך”
“And all the nations (goyim) will say that HaShem’s name is upon you (tefillin) and they will fear you.
The previos Lubavitcher rebbe put on tefillin in jail behind the back of the Russian officers who clearly told him it was strictly forbidden. When the officer turned around and noticed this, he shoved the rebbe down the staircase and gave him a sharp kick. While he was on the floor at the bottom of the staircase, bleeding from head to toe, he continued davening shema!
