During the week I daven in the Lakewood Vo'sikin minyan and on Shabbos I
daven at the Haskama Minyan at the YI of J. There is absolutely no
taking during davening at the Lakewood minyan, which is a very
yeshivishe minyan and little talking at the Yi of J minyan.
Both are orderly and decorum is maintained. </font></body>
