Reply To: Shul Etiquette

To cherrybim:

Are you serious to ask me to change shuls or even move because someone is inconsiderate?? That’s yet another case of blaming the innocent victim!!

Also, if I am in shul already and someone is searching for a seat, I can (as I have done numerous times in the past) offer him my Makom Kavuah as part of Hachnosas Orchim — I’m speaking about someone who comes to shul before a regular mispalel and without inquiring plants himself in someone’s seat.
