Another cause is for the diners to separate from one another, for such separation is among the reasons blessing is withdrawn. When people spread out, each person is given his own bowl, and the food becomes scattered and its blessing removed. If you were to allot every individual a separate dish or vessel, the food would be divided; whereas, when all of it is placed in a single vessel and they gather around it, even a small amount is endowed with blessing. This indicates that a group should have their meal in one container—whether they are ten or five—setting the food before them in a single platter proportionate to their number. Doing so invites blessing to descend, while dispersing the food drives the blessing away.
