Halachot and Customs
Kiddush on One Challah and Additional Questions
Question
Hello, honored rabbi.
I have several questions:
1. My mother accidentally washed my pan with their Scotch-Brite pad. How can I kasher the pan?
2. For Kiddush on Friday night, is it possible to make Kiddush on one challah, or is two challot required? And how does one make Kiddush with two challot?
Thank you in advance.
Answer
Hello and blessings
1. There is no need to kasher it.
2. If you do not have two challot, you may make Kiddush on one challah.
3. Wash your hands and recite the blessing over washing hands, and afterward place your hands on the challot placed on the table and make Kiddush.
If you have wine/grape juice, it is preferable that you make Kiddush on the wine rather than on the bread.
Go forth and succeed,
Binyamin Shmueli
