Menachot (“Meal Offerings”) is the second tractate in Seder Kodashim (“Order of Holy Things"). Its thirteen chapters mainly discuss flour-based offerings brought in the Temple, as well as oil and wine libations. Among the topics addressed are intentions that nullify an offering’s validity, details of the process of removing a handful of meal-offering, sanctifying it in a vessel, carrying it, and burning it on the altar, and the preparation and consumption of showbread (loaves that were always present on a dedicated table in the Temple).
