Mar 20, 2017 at 18:47 comment added user9643 @Scimonster You have to enter the sanctuary. As Robert Columbia mentioned , it happens to be some of the instances where I have seen this is in a shul that was once a monastery.
Mar 20, 2017 at 16:12 comment added DanF My understanding of the halacha is that one may not enter the shul building itself specifically for use as a "rest stop" unless he pauses in the sanctuary. I may be completely wrong about this assumption, though. There are different rules if one is attending an affair held in some part of the building. Then, you are not using it as a rest stop.
Mar 20, 2017 at 11:00 comment added Robert Columbia @scimonster I have seen Christian churches that had rooms that were only accessible through the sanctuary.
Mar 20, 2017 at 7:07 comment added Scimonster Do you enter the sanctuary or just the shul building? I find it hard to believe that someone would build a shul with a room only accessible through the sanctuary.

Mar 20, 2017 at 1:21 comment added user9643 @Daniel I know technically it's not a shortcut, but still it might be an issue because of this issur of using a shul as a shortcut.
Mar 20, 2017 at 1:19 comment added Daniel It's not really a shortcut if it's the only way to get there.
