Question
Anyone who establishes a place for their prayer, the God of Abraham assists them. Is it sufficient to designate a synagogue, or must one establish a place within the synagogue? And is it permissible to establish one place for Shacharit and another for Mincha?
Answer
One must establish a specific place within the synagogue, and within four cubits of that place is considered as one's place. It is not sufficient to designate only a synagogue. It is permissible to establish different places for each prayer and even different synagogues. It is commendable to establish the synagogue in a place where one studies or listens to a lesson, as stated in the Gemara: "In the place of joy, there shall be prayer."
