- Q. Is it permitted to place on the entrance to the shul area of davening, against a side wall on the back a large screen that contains all the information for davening times as well as shiurim and other activities and the times for Shabbat etc.
Or is it questionable if it is proper, as commonly most often those screens are used for all kind of computer activities?
A. In Kolelim, Yeshivos and more traditional Batei Midrash, this modern feature, may not (yet) be an acceptable article.
However, in many Shuln and Batei Kneseth attended even by very traditional and frum members, their use is fast becoming a reality.
The above is due not only because the facility of posting all messages and information needed and providing any fast changes required. More so because it avoids men and women examining and discussing their content and information together, when meeting at the open hall of he entrance area of the shul.
