0:00 When there is crowding and everyone is pushed and squeezed, one against another, this cancels many troubles, so it is not terrible to suffer this... The Chasam Sofer also writes, "They stand crowded and bow with room," that "they stand crowded" is hard, but after that - relief. Relief. It is not terrible, people who squeeze together a bit, this... This is how you feel, moving, you have no room and air... warmth and no room to move, so it is a good sign that we are one...
0:30 Why did the Holy One, blessed be He, say, "Here, now we have read" Why do they say "like the sand of the sea" - why did the Holy One, blessed be He, say, "I will multiply your seed like the sand which is on the seashore" He should have said to him, "like the sand which is in the desert." Why the sand which is on the seashore? This is the only sand that is dough. you lift it, and it is one, and it is one. In the desert, the sand, you lift it - the sand crumbles. This sand is "like the sand which is on the seashore." When we are like this, as one... stuck to one another, and we are one dough, we fulfill with this the promise that like the sand which is on the seashore. So even if there is a bit of toil and crowding, it is good, it cancels many judgments, and then one need not say, "Do not push..." No one is pushing, it is Hashem who is pushing... the Holy One, blessed be He, is pushing. Everything we have here in the crowding, it is Hashem who is pushing, one need not say to another, "Do not push."
1:17 move from here, come here, Do not pass from there... I was second, I was third... I was second, I was third...
