Question
Two synagogues are connected, sometimes one is locked. Is it considered disrespectful (and thus requires the recitation of a Psalm, etc.) to pass through the other? Or if there is no choice, is it not considered disrespectful? And is there a distinction to be made between a religious need and a secular one? Thank you.
Answer
Hello Rabbi
I did not find a permission for 'no choice', therefore in such a case, one should recite a verse or something similar.
However, if one is going to pray and there is no other way, it is permitted.
