Question
A. The parochet is a tefach thick, measuring 5 meters by 5 meters, which is a very significant weight. B. To fold a curtain, one must grasp its edge, and the edge of the parochet started opposite a pillar, making it very difficult to move with the elbow. C. The parochet in the Second Temple was twenty cubits wide and forty cubits high, which was eight times larger. Perhaps you should ask Rabbi Fried.
Answer
Shalom Rav
I spoke with Rabbi Fried, and he said it seems that he moved the parochet with his elbows or body.
