In the merit of Golda Ita bas Rivkah
This Women's Class was presented on October 31, 2017, Parshas Vayeira 5778, at Ohr Chaim in Monsey, NY.
The story of Lot’s wife is not just an ancient narrative; it continues to play a role in Jewish life. At every Shabbos and holiday meal, we have salt on the table, and we also dip our bread into salt. Why? One of the reasons is to remember Lot’s wife who turned into salt and to rectify her sin.
But why? Why is the story of Lot’s wife so significant as to be reminded of it at every Shabbos meal for millennia? And how are we rectifying her behavior of looking back at Sodom by dipping our bread in salt?
Why indeed did Lot’s wife look back? Why couldn’t Lot’s wife control herself? What was so tempting about looking back? And why did she become, of all things, a pillar of salt?
A Chassidic discourse by Rabbi Aharon Halevi Horowitz of Strashele, the famed disciple of Rabbi Schuner Zalman of Liadi, presents us with the answer and the practical relevance to our lives.

DIPPING BREAD IN SALT
What a shiur!!! wow!
Just one comment. We need to dip bread in salt whenever we eat bread, even during the week, not only on Shabbos on Yom Tov.
