Why We Cover the Bread on Shabbat

Do you know why we cover challah on Shabbat during Kiddush? One of the reasons is respect, but there's also a deeper reason. When Bnei Yisrael were in the desert, Hashem gave them manna, the food [music] from heaven. Before the manna came down, there was a layer of dew, tal, protecting from dust and sand, you know, in the desert. The manna came down, and then another layer of dew covered from above, from all the dust and the other sand. Almost like Hashem wrapped it with protection. And that's why on Shabbat we place the challah between the covers, the table cover and then the cover on top, above and below, to remember that the miracle [music] and remember that Hashem always provides and protects. Amazing. [music] Think about it.
