    And I always thought that they did the Chesed Lishmah.

    For all of you that don’t have a problem with fast davening because that’s what working folk need, do you mean to say that you feel that getting to work on time is more benficial to your Parnossah than pouring out your heart slowly with extra Kavannah to Hashem?

    Beside the standard “these are necessary preparation days for Rosh Hashanah” you should know that I notice you’re not alone. Look around during these two weeks and you’ll see that many men who you meet seem to be sleep-deprived.

    So the best chizuk I can afford at this time is probably “you’re in good company with the rest of K’lal Yisroel.

    Wishing all a K’siva V’chasima Tova for 5772.

    When you say “luxury for the rich” I suppose you mean rich PARENTS.

    I believe it is illegal for a non-emergency vehicle to sport cherry lights and/or a siren.

    Bais Medrash because it’s quiet and respectful and a Kavannah-filled, slow davening.

    I once heard that a Ba’al Teshuva went over to tell R. Noach Weinberg z”l that he was a huge rock and roll fan before becoming frum and some habits are just too hard to break – he can’t stop listening to it. What should he do? Rav Weinberg laughed (as he was prone to do) and said he is 100% allowed to continue listening in order to “keep his sanity” and to help him grow in Yiddishkeit.

    I’m still here.

    In addition to looking like a steroid-taking mushroom, I know many men in shul who did indeed complain about having gotten soaked this past Shabbos.

    Why would giving my opinion about a raincoat constitute “Lashon Hora?” Is this in the Sefer Chofetz Chaim?

    It seems that the Modern Orthodox will attempt to use all Kulos when dealing with Halacha. They hold the minimum z’man for Motzoei Shabbos, the smallest size kippah, kulos regarding food as was mentioned above (chalav stam, pas palter, etc.) and women with heterim in dress that sometimes don’t really exist. In short, they take the “easy way out.”

    A big Yasher Koach to apushatayid for trying to do what’s right. What would be so bad if the tzibbur spent another five minutes pouring out their hearts to Hakodesh Baruch Hu? Is there anything more important than talking to the Borei Olam at least as clearly and slowly as one would speak to the President,l’havdil?

    I also love that incident with the $50 offer.

    If your main point is because you’d like to daven at your own, slower pace, then why not slow down the minyan to a comfortable speed. I’ve done that at the amud and many mispallelim have expressed their gratitude for being able to “catch their breath.”

    I truly appreciate what you say. I’m speaking about coming to shul on time or even before the starting z’man and already finding someone in your seat.

    In the recent dafei yomi Gemara, we learned that the “strings” can be almost any color. Should those that use supposed “techeiles” be attacked if they chose to wear blue-dyed strings?

    To cherrybim:

    Are you serious to ask me to change shuls or even move because someone is inconsiderate?? That’s yet another case of blaming the innocent victim!!

    Also, if I am in shul already and someone is searching for a seat, I can (as I have done numerous times in the past) offer him my Makom Kavuah as part of Hachnosas Orchim — I’m speaking about someone who comes to shul before a regular mispalel and without inquiring plants himself in someone’s seat.

    Am Yisrael Chai:

    I’m fully aware of ADD and the like (although many in the scientific community don’t hold from it) but this is going a bit too far with dan l’chaf Zechus. Even if it were true, I’m also entitled to a disturbance-free Tefillah. If someone does suffer from these maladies, perhaps they can pace the lobby or daven in a shul with other ADD’s. To pace up and down the aisle is still inconsiderate.

    It’s the same with looking around “to gain inspiration.” Look around other places as much as you want but don’t interrupt my Kavanah. Again, you’re pushing dan l’chaf zechus to the max at another’s expense.
