8/22/26 – Shiur 573 – Correct Him - or Let It Go? When Should Mistakes in Shul Be Corrected?

August 21, 2026·1h 10m
Episode Description from the Publisher

When should a ba’al tefillah or ba’al keriyah be corrected - and when is it better to let the mistake go? If someone’s talking, pacing, or other behavior is distracting the congregation, when is it appropriate for a gabbai or rav to intervene? What about a chazzan who is davening too slowly? When should he be asked to speed up - and when should the tzibbur simply be more patient? Which shul halachos should be enforced, and which are we too strict about? Host: Ari Wasserman with Rabbi Yitzchok Berkowitz – Rosh Yeshiva of Aish HaTorah – 10:46 with Rabbi Isaac Rice – Mora De'asra of Congregation Anshei Chesed, Hewlitt NY – 30:50 Conclusions and Takeaways – 1:03:50 מראי מקומות
