Separating Challah from One Kilogram Dough
Halachic Guidelines for Challah Separation Based on Dough Quantity
Question
Hello honorable Rabbi, I wanted to ask: I made dough from one kilogram of flour, and I know that to perform the separation of challah you need one and a half kilograms (1.5 kg). I only made dough from one kilogram; do I need to separate challah or not? Please answer me urgently, thank you.
Answer
Greetings and blessings, One should not separate challah from less than 1.2 kilograms of dough. The blessing over the separation is recited only when the amount of flour exceeds 1.666 kilograms. Blessings, Binyamin Shmueli.
