Grace – while sitting, or where one ate
Question
I ate my third Shabbos meal in a synagogue. It was standing room only. Now, I wasn’t sure what’s preferable. Is it better to say grace after meals while standing where I ate, or is it better to go to a room close by, a room, from which one cannot see the main synagogue hall, and to say grace there. There I can seat in peace and quiet, and concentrate on what I am saying.
Answer
Dear …
You should eat some bread in that room close by, and then say grace after meals there.
