Notice to Our Readers

It has come to our attention that an example given in a recent article about waiting in line could be misunderstood. One of the illustrations of the principles discussed at length in the article was an adult who was under time pressure to go to daven faced with a line of school children who were not in a rush. It was not a real situation but an example chosen for illustration.

The example was not meant to imply that adults can always go ahead of children or that the time of children is inherently less valuable than the time of adults. It can certainly be the case that children are in a bigger rush than adults and the din would change accordingly, as based on the principles elaborated in the article.
