Reply To: The Death of the "Normal" Minyan

New record – my Shachris minyan today took 29 minutes, from brachos to the last kaddish. I really don’t think that there were nine other men who started Shemonah Esrai with the Chazzan. 🙁

The other day, an avel davened for the amud at the place where I normally daven Maariv. He was done Maariv in nine minutes. I can’t help but wonder if he was doing more harm than help to the neshamah of his parent…
