I have been thinking about this and coincidentally began learning the Kitzur from the beginning.
Where I live there’s only one regular minyan, so it is what it is, and what it is, is a long way from the standard found in the Kitzur. There is quite a bit of talking and other less desirable behavior – but I try to look at it from the glass-half-full perspective and appreciate that ten Jews in this small community show up everyday and daven at all.
But, I dream of a minyan where it is like the Kitzur describes.
I can only imagine what it would be like during the Amidah if the minyan were standing and listening attentively to the Chazzan and responding Amein to each blessing. I can’t see how it would not raise my own kavanah throughout the davening.
Does this kind of minyan exist? If so where?
