Translated from Yalkut Yosef:
1. Every location where ten Jews are present needs to have a
place where these men can gather to pray whenever they please and this place is
called a Bet Kenesset (Shul). If
these people do not have the strength to physically build the Bet Kenesset and
they do not have another place to pray in, they are obligated to rent out a
place specifically for prayer.
2. In Batei Kenessiyot and Batei Midreshiyot (Shuls and
Places of Torah Learning) we hold to avoid jokes and lightheaded behavior. It
is forbidden to speak Sicha Betelah
(idle chatter) in Bet Kenesset. It is important to keep this guideline strict
in all Batei Kenessiyot, because in our grave sins it is become okay to speak
Sicha Betelah in Shul. It is an obligation to give rebuke in a calm and
respectful way to tell people not to speak Sicha Betelah. The Zohar HaKadosh
explains that one who speaks Sicha Betelah in Shul has no part in (not
considered part of) Am Yisrael.
