Question
Is a short and pertinent question or a single word in the synagogue or study hall also forbidden? Also, are there any leniencies in this prohibition due to courtesy or other reasons? I would appreciate sources.
Answer
Hello Rabbi
Greeting is permitted, and it is also allowed to briefly address another.
Source
See Aruch HaShulchan, Orach Chaim, Siman 151 for several leniencies on this matter.
