Question

For Shabbat, for all the reasons
Topic: Shabbat prayers
Question: How should I deal with friends who go out to have fun during prayer?

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

Your struggle is not with them, but only with yourself. 

You are not responsible for their actions, only for yourself. 

Strengthen yourself in the importance and value of prayer, so that you will not be swept along with them. And many times they too will learn from you that prayer is something serious. 

It is worthwhile to study about prayer, to listen to classes on the subject, and to understand this great gift we have — to speak with Hashem several times a day.
