Passage 2. This blessing's meaning is: One thanks God—הַטּוֹב—Who is good to the hearer, having gladdened his heart; וְהַמֵּטִיב—and He is good toward the person to whom the favorable event occurred. true Passage 3. Whoever hears glad tidings that concern himself alone recites the blessing שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ. true heading UPON HEARING ILL TIDINGS Passage 1. Whoever hears ill tidings, for instance the demise of a friend or a person of stature, recites the blessing דַּיָּן הָאֱמֶת. Clearly, should one have witnessed such an event, this blessing is recited. true Passage 2. Both blessings over favorable and adverse news are uttered only when the report comes from a trustworthy origin (i.e. a reliable witness). true heading IMMERSION OF UTENSILS Passage 1. Before dishes and utensils may serve in a kosher kitchen, they must receive a degree of holiness, bestowed through ritual immersion in a mikveh, a pool of naturally collected water. true Passage 2. One may likewise immerse vessels in particular natural bodies of water, such as the ocean. true Passage 3. Only utensils a non-Jew manufactured or once owned require immersion. true Passage 4. Preparing for immersion consists in removing any substance that would intervene between the mikveh water and the utensil's surface, such as dust, rust, stickers, glue from labels, and price markings. true Passage 5. Metal or glass vessels used for eating, drinking, cooking, frying, or heating water for drinking require immersion with a blessing. Illustrations comprise: Correlle dishes, silverware, pots and pans, kettles, and those portions of a mixer and blender that come into immediate contact with food. true Passage 6. Consult a Rabbi regarding which kinds of utensils undergo immersion without reciting a blessing. true Passage 7. If several items are immersed together, a single blessing is said, replacing its final word, כְּלִי (sing. vessel), with כֵּלִים (pl. vessels). true heading SEPARATING CHALLAH Passage 1. Upon first arriving in the Land of Israel, the Jewish People were commanded to give many gifts to the Kohanim serving in the Beit Hamikdash; among these was a share of their dough—"the first and the best"—termed "Challah." true Passage 2. Remembering this gift, and looking toward the coming Redemption and the third Beit Hamikdash, we keep the mitzvah of setting aside the Challah portion. true Passage 3. Challah is taken once the flour and liquid are combined together, the dough yet remaining whole, prior to dividing it and shaping it into loaves. Before detaching the piece of dough, recite the blessing לְהַפְרִישׁ חַלָּה. true Passage 4. Next take a small piece, approximately one ounce, from the dough. Straightway after the Challah is separated (whether or not a blessing is required), say "הֲרֵי זוֹ חַלָּה" (This is challah). true Passage 5. Nowadays, being unable to give the Challah to a Kohen, and being forbidden to use it ourselves, the usual practice is to burn this piece apart (e.g., in a piece of aluminum foil). true Passage 6. It is to be burned in the oven, preferably in the broiler. Yet should the Challah be burned inside the oven, refrain from burning it while anything else is baking. true Passage 7. Should one forget to take Challah prior to baking, or should the batter be loose so that Challah cannot be taken prior to baking, separation may be done after baking. true
