Reply To: And I'm The One Disrespecting The Davening???!!

Speaking of disrespecting davening, I maintain those who learn during davening are doing the same.

I would agree, but with a caveat….

… if you’re just waiting (i.e. you finished Shmoneh Esrei and are waiting for Chazaras HaShatz to begin; you finished P’sukei D’zima and are waiting for the tzibbur to get up to Yishtabach, etc.) then it’s okay. However, once the tzibbur begins, then it’s time to shut the sefer and follow along with the tzibbur.
