I have 3 questions regarding the eating of bread.
1 We are commanded to eat bread for Passover. Are we also required to eat bread on Shabbat and other holidays? What is the minimal number of times we are required to eat bread in a year?
2 Would it be better to try for the maximum? Maybe just eat bread every meal so as to be able to say the blessing?
3 What is the norm?
Answer:
1). On all holidays and on all dates we are required to eat bread that is part of the meal, and this is a complete must. During the year, however, we are not ordered to eat bread, and there is no obligation.
2). ‘Midat hassidut’ is to oblige himself to bless the blessing of food.
3). It is advisable to eat once a day and in the morning and it is called ‘pat shacharit’ which saves many patients and heals the body.
