Reply To: How should one protest against shmoozers during davening?

You need to have the right personality to pull this off: give him a look like he is a martian that just landed his UFO in shul while motioning with your hand to your mouth and making a why hand motion that it should be apparent that you are asking him how on earth can he talk in shul. However this will only work on occassional talkers not on “hardened” talkers who have been doing it for years and likely dont give a darn about Davening altogether and are just there to “hock.”
