Covering the Challot for Hamotzei
Rabbi Elchanan Lewis
12 Elul 5764
Question
What is the source for covering the Challot while saying Hamotzei ?
Answer
The Mishna Brura (271; 41) brings the Chaye Adam that says since one of the reasons for covering the Chalot is to commemorate the Manna – it is better to have them covered till after Hamotzi.
