Synagogue Social Halls

Hi,

A synagogue social hall does not have the sanctity of the sanctuary, and may be used for mundane purposes. However, Rav Moshe Feinstein condemned its use for card games and Bingo, which he labelled "the company of scorners" - although he stated that there is no clear-cut transgression involved.

(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 4:35)
