Reply To: Pushing and Hoshanos

“I find that, generally, the earlier the minyan, the less people will be there. Therefore, there will be less (or even no) shoving.”

I’m not talking about “shoving” I am talking about nudging. As Joseph so excellently described ” very very slightly bumping into him, as if you were simply continuing to walk ”

Also Ive found the opposite the earlier balabatish minyan of those headed to work were much more averse to the slightest contact as opposed to the later minyan which while not completely functioning well, still got around better. (of course this was on different days)
