Bag of Cucumbers in the Synagogue

Question

Hello, A person went to the supermarket and bought a few items (a bag of cucumbers). He has the opportunity to pray the evening prayer, but he needs to enter the synagogue with the bag. Is there an issue with entering the synagogue with a bag of cucumbers?

Answer

Hello 

There is no prohibition against bringing a shopping bag into the synagogue, but it should be placed in a respectful manner. For example, under the bench or in another concealed place.
