…The Chajes books I read in schul Shabbat mornings when bored with the davening…
maybe you can start a new thread (although it will most likely NOT get approved) about what to do in Shul on Shabbos mornings when bored with the davening. You may want to branch out to the even longer Yom TOv davening.
I guess that for the attention span of some people, actually davening and listening to the brochas and answering amen, following the Parsha and the Haftarah just isn’t sufficient for some people…
