Weekly Halachah R' Mordechai Torczyner – [email protected] PARSHAS QUESTIONS TOLDOS BY: THE RAV When a single kiddush is performed for a room of people, First Aliyah: (25:28) The pasuk tells us why Yitzchak loved Esav, but why doesn’t should people at each table cover their challah? it tell us why Rivkah loved Yaakov? We cover the challah while kiddush is recited, for at least these Second Aliyah: (26:6) Why did Yitzchak choose to live in Gerar, land of the three reasons: Philistines? 1. Technically, the berachah on bread should precede the Third Aliyah: What’s the significance of digging wells and giving them names? berachah on wine/grape juice, and we are leapfrogging the bread Fourth Aliyah: (26:29) How could Avimelech claim that he had sent Yitzchak inappropriately. Therefore, we cover the bread, so that it is not in away peacefully when Yitzchak was constantly being disputed over his wells? front of us for kiddush. [This is tied to the idea of not "shaming" Fifth Aliyah: (26:33-34) What’s the connection between the digging of seven wells and Esav getting married? the bread by having it see the recitation of kiddush.] Sixth Aliyah: (28:2) If Hashem had told Yitzchak not leave Eretz Yisrael, why did 2. The two challos at our meals commemorate the man Yitzchak feel it was alright to tell Yaakov to leave? which fell for our ancestors in the wilderness, and that man was Seventh Aliyah: (28:9) If I already know that Machlas was Yishmael’s daughter, covered, above and below, by layers of dew. (Shemos 16:13, why do I also need to know that she was Nevayos’ sister? Bamidbar 11:9) Therefore, we place the challah on a plate or

napkin, and cover it.

3. Out of respect for Shabbos, we wait for its kiddush before A Melave Malka & Kumsitz bringing out the food. for the 20th yahrzeit of Even if kiddush is recited in another part of the room, the second Reb Shlomo Carlebach z”l and third reasons for covering still apply, and so the challah nd should be covered.
