Can I divide challah dough and freeze it for later use? Thirteen Principles of Faith #Torah #shorts

Simplifying your weekly Shabbat preparations while maintaining the sanctity and quality of your home is a common challenge for busy families. In this video, Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner addresses the practical questions surrounding challah preparation, specifically regarding the storage of dough and the mitzvah of hafrashat challah. Rabbi Lev Leib Lerner explains the requirements for reciting a blessing when separating challah, noting that one must use a sufficient amount of flour, generally around five pounds, to fulfill this obligation according to the Oral Torah. He then provides practical guidance on how to manage your baking schedule efficiently. The discussion explores the pros and cons of freezing raw dough versus baking the challot in advance and freezing the finished product. A significant point raised involves the health implications of using commercial preservatives in dough.
