I agree , its wrong on so many different levels. but when i look at the pics (i am not a new yorker) instead of kiddush Hashem, I say , what an awful place to daven. where is the kedusha? its not like they dont have shuls in the state of New York…

#1: That’s hilarious! The very first Minchah in history was davened in a field. What’s wrong with a parking lot?

For the life of me I can never understand why people can’t daven prior to leaving. Shkia is at 8.30 and even later for the Chasidim. Why can’t they daven during the day? Why make a minag out of this? We are in Golus and the less noise we make the better. Would we feel comfortable when a group of Muslims gather to pray in a public domain? Or a group of Christians forming a prayer group in front of our eyes?

I understand the need to “chap Mincha” if you havent prepared properly and need to be in the country at a certain time. since you cant control skiah time., but why Lechatchila is it bakovodik to daven in a parking lot?
