Is anyone else a bit sad to be leaving the mini shuls we set up in our homes? Just me?
If you don't care why would you comment?

LOL, it's nice to never be running late.

Yes that. I've never gone so many days without having to skip parts of psukei dzimra.

Plus, I have my boys (7 and 9) davening with me and they alternate as chazzan. It's amazing how they've learned all the nusach for the different Shabbos and YT tfillos! I'll be happy to get back to shul (I'm still home for now) but I'll sure miss this.

Not mini shuls but here in Israel the convenience of having a minyan outside your window or on your porch.

How about thoughts upon returning to a beis medrash? Have chavrusas I learn with at home but I had the opportunity to learn for a while in a beis medrash today and couldn’t believe how amazing the Kol Torah sounded. Almost forgot what it was like it’s been so long. I’ve learned on occasion in this place the past few weeks in solitude with just a small light turned on, and the sound that now fills the building of chavrusas arguing it out in learning, peoples chanting  rashis and tosfos over to themselves the throb of kol torah that permeates the building is just amazing. Must be a tiny taste of what it felt like to come out of the USSR to a frum Jewish community!People are spread out as much as practical and  there is good ventilation but no six foot distancing. Certainly put one in the mood for Shavuos.
