<I>chasan</I> not attend shul during the wedding week, because he would prevent
the people from reciting <I>Tachanun ... (</I>Mishnah <I>Berurah 131:26)"

Tachanun. <BR><X-SIGSEP></DIV>

<P><SPAN class=464181721-22082007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>Which I've
never understood especially since many times it seems minyanim are meikil
not to say tachanun at the drop of a hat but even without that, why should we
ask the chatan to give up tfila btzibbur for our convenience? Why is it differ
from the baal habrit etc? BTW I think my 1st point may explain R'DC's
experience "Yet in my current shul, every time the situation comes up, there
is a "shouting match" (of the friendly sort, of course) about what to do.", it
is the custom however that the sandek and the baal brit don't say tachanun at
mincha, I'm not sure why it doesn't carry over to the minyan.</FONT></SPAN>
