Halakhah sobre Proverbios 8:35

כִּ֣י מֹ֭צְאִי מצאי [מָצָ֣א] חַיִּ֑ים וַיָּ֥פֶק רָ֝צ֗וֹן מֵיְהוָֽה׃

Porque el que me hallare, hallará la vida, Y alcanzará el favor de SEÑOR.

Kitzur Shulchan Arukh

It is a great mitzvah to pray in a synagogue or in a Beis Midrash19House of Study. because these are sacred places. Even if it happens that there is no minyan,20Ten people which form the quorum necessary for congregational prayer. Nevertheless it is better to pray in a house with a minyan rather than in a synagogue without a minyan. it is nevertheless a mitzvah to pray there even when praying alone, because these are holy places. If you usually study in a Beis Midrash you should also pray there, with ten people, even though in your city there is also a synagogue. However, if you are not accustomed to study in a Beis Midrash, you should pray in a synagogue where there is a multitude of people, for "In the multitude of people is the glory of the king."21Proverbs 14:28. If there are two synagogues in your city, you should go to the more distant one, in order to earn a reward for the added steps. Said Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: "A person should always awaken early and go to a synagogue in order to be counted among the first ten people, because even if a hundred come after him, he receives a reward equal to all of them."22Maseches Berachos 47b. Our Sages, of blessed memory, have also said: "Whoever goes morning and evening to the synagogue or to the Beis Midrash in the proper time, and remains there the proper amount of time, and conducts himself there with proper sanctity, will merit long life, as it is written: 'Fortunate is the man who listens to Me, watching daily at My gates, waiting at the posts of My door.'23Proverbs 8:34. And it is written following this: 'For whoever finds Me finds life.'"24Proverbs 8:35.,25Maseches Berachos 8a.
