Tze'enah Ure'enah
“Then Solomon assembled” [8:1]. Solomon assembled the elders and the leaders to bring up the Holy Ark from the City of David. The Seder Olam writes that the Shekhinah only rests in the midst of a community, or where there is a synagogue.3Seder Olam Rabbah, chap. 16. Therefore, everyone should be warned to go to pray with a minyan. That is why King Solomon assembled all of Israel to bring up the Holy Ark.4Yalkut Shimoni, I Kings, Remez, 187.
