KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA


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.
