For the Ilui Neshama of Avraham ben Ester ZT’L. Lehavdeel
For the Refua Shlema of Chai Yaakov ben Margalit shlit’a.
Translated from Yalkut Yosef Kitzur Shulchan Aruch:
1. It is not appropriate and respectful to place one leg on
the other in a Bet Knesset (Shul/Kenissah) because it is a sign of ga’ava (arrogance). Even at home one
should not sit like this. However, if the only
reason for this way of sitting is to place a book on his legs to read in a more
comfortable fashion it is allowed because Hashem wants our Heart (phrase for
our attention/intention). In any case, in the Bet Knesset one should not do
this even if his only reason is to read more comfortably, especially if he is a
Ben Torah (Talmid Hacham).
2. It is clear to all to prevent from reading newspapers in
the Bet Knesset, even if the newspaper was permitted by Rabbis to be read. It
is recommended and suggested to be accustomed not to read newspapers because it
leads to yetzer hara and is Bitul Torah
(losing out on Torah learning).
