Question
Is it permissible to run in the synagogue?
Answer
Due to the respect for the synagogue, it is forbidden to run, and for this reason, when one is called to the Torah, he should not run but walk briskly. Similarly, when one wishes to leave the synagogue to perform a mitzvah, which is permitted, he should run only after exiting the synagogue, not inside it.
