Throwing the bread reduces the time between the Bracha and the consumption of the bread (for those who rely on the Bracha of the one slicing the chalah). Not only does the bread get to the destinations faster, but it also avoids confusion when the ba'al habayis intends to distribute the bread in a certain order that the guests are not aware of. In many places I have been the ba'al habayis eats first, gives to his wife, the guests in descending order of age, male children in descending order of age, and female children in descending order of age. In other places the chalah is distributed according to how close people are to the ba'al habayis. The "nu"ing that can ensue when someone of one custom is not aware of the other can be a bit annoying.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338634487443993430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-75512797460349700612009-10-01T08:52:41.122-04:002009-10-01T08:52:41.122-04:00Hi Joel,

The poskim discuss the particulars of the spot, and each gives his own view based on his local bread. The Aruch haShulchan discusses bagels, for example. But the trend throughout - as stated explicitly in Shulchan Aruch haRav, for example - is to choose the "best" spot.<br /><br />Re: Regurgitators - Agreed.The Rebbetzin's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977193945074906534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-40040331357788034782009-10-01T08:24:51.663-04:002009-10-01T08:24:51.663-04:002) The cut should be from the finest part of the b...2) The cut should be from the finest part of the bread<br />====================<br />Defined as?
