Reply To: Some basic Halacha that is ignored in 100% of shuls by 99% of the Kahal

Once I made up my mind to be makpid about this I found places to daven in Shomer Shabbos. The Yesod is come on time to the minyan so almost nobody is davening shemonah esrei and if there are a few they are easily avoided by mapping it out in your head before walking. A trick is to always try to daven by the front wall of the shul that way nobody is stepping out of shemonah esrei or walking by or collecting money infront of you always try to Daven in a low traffic spot.

Halacha is Halacha. It is assur to step in front of someone davening shemonah esrei. The shechinah is there and its a big disrespect to the shechinah to do that! Use the Eitzah I wrote to Helpful.
