You know, sometimes you see a certain
group of Hasidim and they're like, you
know, pushing, right? It's just they're
pushy. And you're like, "Whoa, why are
they so pushy?" And and you gave me a
wonderful perspective. I want to share
it with the audience today. And that is
that in the world of Hasidim, pushing is
a sign of respect. You go to shul, you
have the rabbi up in the front, and you
want to push to see the rabbi. You want
to push push push push to get all the
way in the front to get shalom, to get
that herring, to get that challah, to
look at him light a candle. So, from
them, it's coming from a place of love.
And it made me look at it completely
different. Every time a Hasidic guy
pushes me now, I'm like, "Oh, how are
you doing?" You know, like he just wants
to get to know me better.
