There’s a whole bunch of other things people do Kneged Halacha, just because a lot of people do something wrong doesn’t make it right. Because 99.9% of people talk Lashon Hora makes it mutar? The only reason I know any Halacha is because I make it my business to learn Halacha daily if we don’t learn Halacha how will we know anything?? Many people in fact most people learn daf yomi but how many learn and know Halacha? A very small % of the population.

Yes we don’t have Kavana “like they used to” (you and your Rabbi decided NOBODY HAS KAVANA PERIOD! But there’s no mekor for that outlandish statement) and when not having Kavana LIKE THEY USED TO applies to Halacha it is mentioned CLEARLY as Shouldn’t Be Here quoted!! One cant fabricate Heteirim to walk in front of others who Daven Shemonah esrei when NOT ONE HALACHA SEFER brings such a heter or mentions such a Hava Amina!

Rachel gave away the simanim which means she gave away her husband (not knowing that he would marry her after marrying Leah) to her siste. That’s mesiras nefeesh and chessed.

Its a beautiful thing to see that you are being Modeh Al Haemes. Not so common here as HaLeiVi says. Hopefully others will learn from your example and do the same when applicable.

“I heard Beshame a certain Poisek that this halacha doesn’t apply nowadays because of lack of Kavanah.”

What kind of statement is this?! How can you say lack of Kavanah? You or this Rabbi you asked knows how much Kavana people have? So your Rabbi paskened that nobody has Kavana? So why do we bother Davening at all?

I’m almost sure no such Aruch Hashulchan exists. Id go shopping for a new Rabbi…(one that has Kavana when he Davens)

The Rav I asked was paskening lmaaseh.

In fact the Aruch Hashulchon is very strong about this Halacha and far from Meikil! Read it here Thanks Trying To Be Helpful

If there’s a will there’s a way. It may not be the shortest way but you can find a way to circumvent people who are Davening SE. The key is to not come late where you will be coming in when people have started SE.

Rubbery…

Yeshiva…

Couldn’t resist! (Its a real word in the dictionary!)

Haleivi

The only Heter I heard is that if someone is davening in a public aisle he’s a nuisance and one may lift him up and put him somewhere that he will not be in anyones way. But to walk in front of him? Not sure there’s a heter.

There are 2 reasons one may not enter the 4 Amos in front of another davening SE

1. Disturbing his Kavanah

2. The Shechinah is there so it is not Kovod for the Shechinah to walk there.

Even if the Kavanah issue is addressed the Shechinah issue isn’t. You should ask your Rov for psak Halacha Lmaaseh. However when I asked a Rov he made it clear that there’s no heter whatsoever to walk in front of one Davening Shemonah Esrei. Its not a very “convenient” Halacha but I’m guessing that if you are makpid on it you are more likely to have your tefillos answered because 1. If you disturb anothers tefillos your Tefillos aren’t answered and 2. If you have no Kavod for the Shechinah I doubt the Shechinah cares what you have to say in Refaeinu, Bareich Aleinu….

Ben Torah

Usually that will not be a problem I daven there often and always found a way out even if its the long way out and using a different exit. Ben Torah, Halacha is Halacha as inconvenient as it may be sometimes. If we try our best Hashem will pave the way for us. Think of it this way, the rare occasion that you have NO way out and must wait for som/eone, you get a mitzvah every second you wait. If you have Kovod for the Shechinah YOU CAN’T LOSE!
