Burden on the congregation

A burden or difficult effort caused, or likely to be caused, to the public.

("Rabbi Abahu ben Zutarti said in the name of Rabbi Yehuda bar Zvida: They sought to establish the portion of Balak in the recitation of Shema, but why did they not establish it? Because of the burden on the congregation" — Ta'anit 14b; and likewise: "One does not roll a Torah scroll in public, because of the burden on the congregation, so as not to trouble them by making them stand until it is rolled" — Rambam, Book of Love, Laws of Prayer and the Priestly Blessing, Chapter Twelve, 23, 204)
