Chumash

Summary

(5737) Rashi (Num.15:20): "as in the case of the gift of the threshing floor" [[Challah 2:7]

Lesson

The essence of the Mitzvah of Challah is the giving to HaShem

A person should meditate on the fact that one’s income (dough) is given directly from G-d, and working is just the receptacle

Translation

 as in the case of the gift of the threshing floor: in which no amount is specified, but unlike the gift taken from the tithe [[given by Levites to kohanim] for which an amount is specified. However, the Sages did specify an amount-for a householder, one twenty-fourth [[of the dough] and for a baker one forty-eighth. - [[Challah 2:7]
