Mariv in the bank?!
Sound interesting? Well that's exactly what people walking by 13th Avenue and 53rd Street have been hearing the past few weeks. Due to the shiur in Shomer Shabbos, the late late Mincha minyonim and the lack of place to daven in the building, or even on the street for that matter, there have been official Mariv minyonim during the Daf Yomi shiur in the Federal Astoria Bank at the corner. When asked about this interesting prayer place, Hillel answers, "Well it's air-conditioned, it's a room and it's free, so why not?" When asked if the bank has given permission to use it, Hillel answers, "They have cameras, they can see everything that goes on there. If they haven't said anything about it until now, obviously they don't care." Who knows in a couple of weeks we may hear Hillel yelling on the street, "Mariv in the vault!" Either way, I'm just wondering exactly what will take place if some female bank customer comes to take money out of the ATM during Mariv.

Translation from Boro Parkeese into English:
"Permission, who cares about permission...These are Goyim, not Yidden. The aybeshter gives permission...My Rebbe gives permission...Some Goy running some bank doesn't give permission. Besides, the Goy Superviser hasn't got around to kicking us out yet, so it must be okay! And besides, I can't emphasize enough that these are Goyim, or at best non-religious Jews...Okay, maybe there are a few Religious Jews working there, but seriosuly, how religious could they be? They are working in a bank! Doesn't sound very frum to me...If they were "really" frum they would be "learning in Kollell", getting paid to "administer"(i.e. shluff) in a nursing home, work in a Yeshivah, run a medical supply store (i.e., steal from the government), be on welfare (i.e., steal from the government) or at the very least sell cellular phone contracts. So to sum up my argument, YES the bank is run by a bunch of shkutzim, and NO, I don't care what they think. I will now have to end this interview, I have to run over to amnon's to grab a few slices before going to take my mid-afternoon map (not to be confused with my late-afternoon nap)

i use the bank, and it is terrible, it does not let customers do their banking in peace and privacy, why do you think you need a bank cad to open the door, so that the spacy air conditiond room could be used for banking, not davening.
