Reply To: Cutting the Challah

Thanks, Jothar. It’s funny, we only used to see round challahs for Yomim Noraim, but now they are available for Succos, Shavuos (I almost said Pesach, LOL), too. The idea of the complete circle of life repeating, of course, is nothing new, but it makes a lot of sense here. I especially like the idea of the word shana coming from “repeat” (like “v’shinantam”). That really is a sensible thought that never really occurred to me.
