Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon. Recorded in Uman, Ukraine.
00:00 – PARAGRAPH 14. Counting the People of Israel.
04:16 – Being careful not to interrupt the prayer of another. The importance of being considerate of others, especially when visiting the tziyun (gravesite) of Rebbe Nachman. If there are many people, just to say one’s name’s and a brief tefilah, then make room for others. The Tikkun HaKlali can be said at a distance, one doesn’t need to be close to the tziyun – just in view of it, even from a distance.

19:55 – The dangers of counting the People of Israel. Using shekalim to counteract the negative aspects of counting.
