Taking food for granted

Hi,

"Rav Yehudah saw two men being loose with bread. [Rashi: They were throwing it to each other, as a game.] He declareed, 'I see that the world is sated!'

"He turned his eyes [critically], and a famine began."

(Talmud, Taanit 24b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

Showing respect for bread

Hi,

"Four things were stated regarding bread: We do not place raw meat on bread, we do not pass a full cup over bread, we do not throw bread and we do not support a plate with bread."

(Talmud, Berachot 50b)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
