Shlissel Challah (Challahs & Keys or Bagels & Lox!?)

The first Shabbos after Pesach there is a custom to bake Challah with a key ("shlissel") inside or in the shape of a key as a segulah for Parnassah. 

In honor of Schlissel Challah, we've asked Rebbetzin Alisa Schwartz to include the recipe for her popular Whole Wheat Honey Challah:

Mix the following in a warm place so that the yeast will poof:
- 6 packets active dry yeast
- 2 tsps sugar
- 4 cups lukewarm water

In another bowl mix:
- 2 cups honey 
- 1 tsp salt 
- 5 large eggs
- 2 cups vegtable oil
- 8 cups whole wheat flour 
- 9 cups bread flour

When yeast is bubbly (poofed) add to mixture and mix dough until it is not sticky

Let dough rise for at least 2-3 hours in a warm place covered.

Then knead the dough and shape and let rise again. 

This recipe can be braided or made as pull apart challah. 

For shlissel challah either shape the dough into the shape of a key or take a key and cover with parchment paper and stick it into the dough after shaping while rising. Nothing will happen to the key if you bake it in the dough in parchment paper

Hashkama Minyan - Rabbi Blanchard's Blurb

We create initiation ceremonies that mark our entrance into the special roles that characterize what is meaningful to us---becoming partnered, becoming parents, starting a career, finding a sacred task, etc. But points of entry contain not only great promise. If we get them wrong, they also bring risks and even dangers---the ruined wedding or awful first year, the over anxious new parent, getting off on the wrong foot at the job, misunderstanding who we are in the drama of holy living.We might be be clumsy, anxious  and self-involved when we need to be skillful, calm and altruistic. Not easy to do.  But,  we can't spend our lives hiding in order to be safe. We can't narrow our lives by being overly cautious when offered good possibilities.  So we may on our initiation ceremonies to carry us through.  
 

Guest Parsha Point - Rabbi Zelig Pliskin (Growth Through Torah)

When you love wisdom, you will have joy for the wisdom of others. “And Moshe heard and it was good in his eyes.” Sforno comments on this verse: Moshe felt joy upon hearing Aharon’s reasoning. He was pleased that Aharon was correct in his decision. People who have wisdom will derive pleasure when they come up with an original idea or when they find that they are correct in some intellectual matter. But, it is a rare quality to have such a love of wisdom that one derives pleasure when another person comes up with a good idea. What was special about Moshe’s joy was that he himself made an error and Aharon was right. Many people would be upset that they had made a mistake. But not Moshe. He was joyful that his brother had an awareness of truth, even though this meant that he was wrong. Moshe’s love of wisdom should serve as a model to strive for.
