When I see my food on my plate I think about where it comes from. I thank all of the people who spend there lives harvesting crops, stocking shelves, preparing meats, and serving it to me. I think that my one piece of corn took so many people to just put it on my plate it was grown watered harvested trucked over stocked on shelves to bought to prepared to me eating it.

Noam, Eliah, Sarah
because I'm hungry


Eat a long till you're full it'll make you feel so good
Because I'm hungry
Breakfast lunch and dinner re the three meals of day { plus two more }
Eat along if you feel like that's what you gotta do
Because we're hungry
It's Friday and it is all school lunch
Because I'm HUNGRY

א"ר אבא ובשבת חייב אדם לבצוע על שתי ככרות מ"ט (שמות טז, כב) לחם משנה כתיב
In connection to the various halakhot with regard to breaking bread, especially on Festivals, the Gemara cites another halakha. Rabbi Abba said: And on Shabbat one is obligated to break bread for the meal over two loaves. What is the reason? Because in the Torah portion that discusses gathering manna on Friday for Shabbat, the phrase: “Twice as much bread” (Exodus 16:22) is written. To commemorate this, Shabbat meals are based on two loaves of bread.

My family ALWAYS has two fresh hallot on our table for Shabbat.🍞😍 IT IS REALLY GOOD 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥖🍞🥖🍞🥐🍞🥖

בנימין רעיא כרך ריפתא ואמר בריך מריה דהאי פיתא אמר רב יצא והאמר רב כל ברכה שאין בה הזכרת השם אינה ברכה דאמר בריך רחמנא מריה דהאי פיתא
Regarding blessings that do not conform to the formula instituted by the Sages, the Gemara relates that Binyamin the shepherd ate bread and afterward recited in Aramaic: Blessed is the Master of this bread. Rav said, he thereby fulfilled his obligation to recite a blessing. The Gemara objects: But didn’t Rav himself say: Any blessing that does not contain mention of God’s name is not considered a blessing? The Gemara emends the formula of his blessing. He said: Blessed is the All-Merciful, Master of this bread.
