Visit the Shul Every Day

את לעבד ישראל בני מתוך ולבניו לאהרן נתנים הלוים את ואתנה” בבני יהיה ולא ישראל בני על ולכפר מועד באהל ישראל בני עבדת (יט ח ) “הקדש אל ישראל בני בגשת נגף ישראל

Harav Shlomo Zalman Unsdorfer, a Maggid in Pressburg, explained:

The passuk “velo yihiyeh biBnei Yisrael negef begeshes Bnei Yisrael el hakodesh” cautions that there should not be in “Bnei Yisrael” those who come “el hakodesh” – to the shul, only because they are struck by a “negef” a plague or disease, at which time they rush to shul to plead for their lives or to say Kaddish for their loved ones. Rather, each one in Am Yisrael should visit the shul all the time, regularly, for Shacharis, Minchah and Ma’ariv.
