Question
What blessing is recited upon seeing sixty thousand people?
Answer
A person who sees sixty thousand people together, if they are Jews, must bless: "Blessed... the Wise of Secrets".
If they are non-Jews, he says: "Your mother shall be greatly ashamed; she who bore you shall be embarrassed. Behold, the last of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land and a desert."
