Description

Walking to the FURTHER shuls seems to be in violation of two halachik principles: זריזין מקדימין למצוות= the scruplous always do the Mitzva right away אין מעבירין על המצוות= when a Mitzva is at hand, don't pass it by How do we reconsile these with the "great" reward of walking to the further shul?
