Idle Talk in the Synagogue and Study Hall
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.
