The Rebbe noticed that there was one foolish man pushing his way into the entire crowd, disturbing them all. <BR/>He quoted the verse in Mishlei/Proverbs 27:22, "If you crush the fool in a mortar...his foolishness will not leave him." Did you ever see a fool crushed in a mortar? he noted. That's for crushing peppercorns, not fools! <BR/>He answered that even though "the reward of a gathering is the crowded quarters," the fool, even if he will push his way around the crowd, will not be affected by the [holiness of the] gathering, and his folly will not depart from him. <BR/>This story is brought in the <I>sefer Divrei Yisrael</I>, by the first Modzitzer Rebbe, who was the Kuzmirer's grandson.yitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08523302947845887661noreply@blogger.com
