KOL HASHONEH HALACHOT BECHOL YOM MUVTACH LO SHEH'HOO BEN HA'OLAM HABA


Translated from Yalkut Yosef:

1. On Shabbat we are instructed to do the HaMotzi blessing on two complete loaves of bread (to remind us of the Mitzvah of Mann). One should put the two loaves on top of eachother while saying the beracha (blessing) and take off a piece of bread to eat from the bottom loaf. According to the Arizal it is best to take off a piece from the top loaf.

2. It is more correct to taste from the piece the one who is blessing took from himself before continuing to distribute other pieces to everyone on the table. The people listening to the beracha may not taste from the bread until the one blessing tasted from the bread. If every person has before him/her two loaves of bread, they can taste the bread before the one who blessed tasted. In a case where each individual has two loaves of bread, one should not answer amen to the other’s blessing before tasting their own bread (to avoid entering the problem of hefsek after blessing).

Shabbat Shalom!
