When should a ba’al tefillah or ba’al keriyah be corrected - and when is it better to let the mistake go? If someone’s talking, pacing, or other behavior is distracting the congregation, when is it appropriate for a gabbai or rav to intervene? What about a chazzan who is davening too slowly? When should he be asked to speed up - and when should the tzibbur simply be more patient? Which shul halachos should be enforced, and which are we too strict about?
