Question
Does the bread on the table during Kiddush need to be the exact bread I intend to eat, or can it be different bread? (I want the challah to keep warming on the hotplate until the last minute).
Answer
Shalom Rav
There is no obligation for the bread to be on the table during Kiddush
It is sufficient to have the intention to eat in the place of Kiddush, immediately after Kiddush.
