Examples

“[H]e was invited, on his first visit⟳ to my synagogue in St John's Wood, to choose⟳ between sitting in the wardens' box or occupying a prominent front row seat. As he is orthodox and a regular shulgoer, this was quite a quandary. He decided to sit⟳ in the wardens' box.”

“He knew that some of his congregants, especially the regular Shulgoers (Synagogue worshipers), would not buy⟳ their meat from the local non-Jewish butcher, and came instead to Stern.”

“Having greeters at the entrance of the worship⟳ space not only sends a message of welcome⟳, but it allows newcomers to enter⟳ a little less nervously, take⟳ an appropriate seat, and ease into the worship⟳ experience⟳ itself. This is often an awkward moment, even for the veteran shulgoer; how much the more so for a new visitor, a non-Jew, or a recent Jew by choice.”

“If you're an occasional shul-goer and have⟳ not yet found a home, ask⟳ your friends, people you feel⟳ are on the same wavelength as you. Go shul hopping!”

“Although Jonathan states that "schools and shuls", which seem to always appear⟳ as a pair, are entities with which South African Jews identify⟳, most of my interlocutors did not seem to be avid shul'''goers.”
