I was thinking about this thread last week in shul, and I meant to post after Shabbos but forgot. I’m glad I waited.
Both last week and this week there was an aufruf (two different shuls). There were a lot more people than usual. If ever there was an opportunity for someone to walk in front of another while that person was davening, this was it.
IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!
So much for “the numbers are high.”
