“If dishes are packed well and tight, one next to the other, the box can be moved about and none of the dishes will break.  If they are packed loosely, even the slightest jar is liable to break them.  So it is with Bnei Yisrael.  If they live in friendship and peace, making room for one another, they cannot be harmed.  If there are arguments, each demanding his own space, they cannot withstand the smallest turbulence.” ~ R’ Yechezkel of Kuzmir zt”l
