KikarHashabat pointed me to an article at tzfatinews regarding a successful initiative in a shul in France where the gabbaim instituted a monetary penalty for those whose cell phones rang during davening. The money would be set aside for the shul's use. Needless to say, the congregants got the message after a number of days and prayer is no longer interrupted by the ringing of cell phones.
The article ends with a suggestion that the initiative can be implemented in other synagogues or public places where the ringing has become a nuisance.
Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying
your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger
but I'm still new to the whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for first-time blog writers?
I'd certainly appreciate it.

I believe everything posted made a bunch of sense.
ReplyDeleteBut, think on this, what if you were to write a awesome post title?
I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your website, however what if you
added a title that grabbed people's attention?
I mean "Cell phone penalty" is a little boring. You could peek at Yahoo's
home page and note how they create news titles
to grab people to open the links. You might try adding a video or a related picture or
two to grab people interested about what you've written.
In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little livelier.
