Question

Sometimes I enter the vestibule of the shtiblach and then I see that a minyan is being organized outside the building (on the other side). When I exit the building to the yard, do I need to distance myself 8 tefachim from the entrance as when entering a synagogue?

Answer

Shalom Rav

There is no reason to distance oneself from the synagogue; the point of entering is exactly the opposite, to go inside and not remain at the entrance like a casual visitor.
