Reply To: Davening in Public

I once heard a story of a Rabbi who was scared to Daven in public. So he got into an old phone booth and pretended to be on the phone. (That part of the story is true; the rest might be a joke.) So someone wanted to use the phone booth and kept banging on it. The Rabbi signaled for him to wait a few minutes. After some more banging, the Rabbi angrily turns around, covers, the phone, and says, “Hey, I’m talking to God here!”
