“Also remember, respectfully, late prayers are for people who don’t necessaily work in the outside world. They have the time. For the rest of us, it’s the “7am minyan.”
I had a Chabad friend who would say Sh’ma, eat breakfast, learn Chassidus from 8-10 am, then daven. I never understood that. In my opinion, if you feel that learning 2 hours is necessary preparation, then wake up 2 hours earlier and daven at 8.

“7. During Aleinu, fill your mouth with phlegm then spit on the ground.
Never really understood that one.”
Spitting is done after “sheHeim Mishtahavim…” (They bow to nothingness…)
2 reasons: 1) Show disgust about paganism 2) creates separation between talking about their A”Z and our serving Hashem.
