There’s a chassidishe maaseh that there were two rebbes that were bothered by the question why isn’t Mashiach here yet? One Rebbe thought it was because due to lack of tznius and he went went traveling from community to community giving drashos on tznius. The other Rebbe thought that if People would be careful to answer Amein nad Amein Yehe Shmei Rabba with kavana and and not talk in middle of davening, then Mashiach would come. He went traveling from community to community giving drashos on this inyun. One day they met at an inn and each tried to persuade the other that he was right. Neither could pesuade the other so they decided to do a Goral Hagra. They did it and it fell on the pasuk ?????? ???? ?? ??????? which is in ?????? ?? ??. The Targum Yehonasan translates this as It’s not proper that it should be said in a Jewish gathering. According to one meaning it means tznius, according to Targum Yonasan, it meant that People don’t talk properly in a jewish place which means Amein and Yehei Shmei Raba. So both Rebbes were right and they both continued to travel to different communities to darshan on these topics.
