Question
Should the challah be separated from the dough before or after the blessing?
Answer
Shalom Rav
In separation without a blessing, one should separate the challah and then say 'this is challah'. In separation with a blessing, one should bless when the part being separated is close to the dough, so a piece should be separated and slightly distanced from the dough, but kept close to it, bless, and then say 'this is challah'.
