He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord! Deuteronomy 8:3
In this challah-cast for Parsha Ekev (below), I got excited to look into the scripture from Deuteronomy 8:3 as it is a kind of theme scripture for the challah-casts, which are about bread (challah) and the word of God.
I `wrote` two Hebrew words in Challah!! You will soon see the words they are, and hope you might enjoy the discoveries in these two challah-casts !!
The upload below is a kind of `prelude` to the Ekev upload, but either can stand on its own as well!!! In it you will see how to make a four-strand Challah. I relate that to the readings in our parsha and the single utterance to `Remember` and `Guard` the Shabbat, and seeing that in relation to the words `Shamor` and `Zachor`. We are in a beautiful relationship with our Maker who `keeps` us and asks us to `keep` or `Guard` those things that are precious to Him!! Praise the LORD!!
Be blessed!! and again, thank you for reading watching or just being along on the journey together!!!
Challah loaves are so beautiful. I picture an ancient baker braiding them like that and then teaching the younger bakers and so on until now.
