The purpose of this discussion is not to thrash out a specific halakhic issue-much less a halakhic policy-but rather to share and examine certain attitudes that I have encountered in discussing what was for me, at least, a modest proposed change in synagogue etiquette. I do not claim that the attitudes examined here are a scientific sampling, but I think they are widespread enough to warrant discussion. There are no final conclusions to be drawn from this or similar exchanges, but the issues raised extend beyond the question of this proposed change. Seeing things in print sometimes has a way of moving everyone forward a bit.
