The Right Way to Break Bread for Hamotzi
Rabbi Daniel Glatstein
When making Hamotzi, when should you cut the bread, how much should you cut, and why should the loaf remain whole during the blessing? This practical halacha lesson explores the proper way to prepare and break the bread, the importance of minimizing the delay between the bracha and eating, and how these laws apply to a whole loaf or a partial piece of bread.
