Holiness of the Shul or Bet Midrash
- It’s utterly forbidden to act frivolously in a Shul or Bet Midrash in any way such as laughter, vane speech, or humor. [1]
- It’s forbidden to speak about non-holy matters in a shul or Bet Midrash including speech about business or an occupation. [2]
- Similarly, it’s forbidden to read or write secular subjects in a Shul or Bet Midrash. [3]
- It’s much worse of a transgression to speak forbidden speech such as Lashon Hara, Rechilut, or starting fights in a Shul or a Bet Midrash in the place where the Shechina dwells. [4]
