wolf, you have a very solid point. a certain shul i used to daven in sometimes on shabbos there are people in the shul that come just to talk. why do they come just make a club where they can sit and shmooze. why do they have to come to shul and shmooze during davening when possibly other people are trying to daven. These people may be very learned people, but wolf, i argue with you on one point, their yiras shamayim can’t possibly be that strong. If a guy can sit there shmoozing during chazaras hashatz where the mechaber says on talking during chazaras hashatz “gadol avono minso” “the sin is too big to carry”, his yiras shamayim can’t be too strong. And kal vachomer by kadish which is the most holy part of davening, people just sit there shmoozing! this is beyond me.
