Question
From how many kilograms of dough is it necessary to separate challah with a blessing?
Answer
Hello Rabbi,
From dough that contains 2.250 kilograms of flour, it is obligatory to separate challah with a blessing.
Some have the custom to bless on 1.700 kilograms of flour, and those who do so have upon whom to rely. Those who do not have a clear custom should not bless until the aforementioned amount.
