Weapons in a synagogue

Hi,

Some prohibit entering a synagogue with a weapon; a synagogue is meant to increase life, rather than to foreshorten it.

In practice, this is usually applied specifically to revealed weapons, rather than concealed ones.

(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 151:6; Mishneh Berurah 151:22)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
