Shelach (5781): Baking Challah with Faith
from Something Spiritual · host Rabbi Yehuda Stern
Baking Challah is part of the Jewish way of life. We all long to eat the the Challah at our Friday night dinners, especially if it is homemade! Besides for the eating of the Challah, the process of preparation is also a special experience. As the dough is ready, we remove part of it and put it aside. In the days of the old we would give it to the Cohen as a representative of G-d. Today we wrap the small piece up and burn it or dispose of it. What is this practice all about? What is the deeper significance behind the ancient ritual?
