Question

Hello, A man whose wife left the house in the evening and is concerned she might return late wants to go pray Maariv. He has the opportunity to attend a minyan near his home and return within 15 minutes. On the other hand, he has two small children at home who are sleeping, and the thought that they might wake up and be worried about where their parents are troubles him slightly, but not acutely. How should he act?

Answer

Hello 

Our teacher, Rabbi shlita, instructed that in such a case, one should pray at home and not go to the synagogue.
