Question
Hello, During Shabbat meals, which challah is broken (the upper or the lower one) and why?
Answer
Hello
At the evening meal, the lower challah is broken. At the morning meal, the upper one, and at the third meal, they are placed side by side.
The reason is based on Kabbalah.
It should be noted that at the evening meal, when breaking the lower challah, the lower challah should be brought closer to the one making the blessing than the upper one, so that the blessing is made on the challah closest to him.
