Amount of Flour in the dough that requires Challah to be taken (2024)

According to the view of Rabbi Avrohom Chaim Noeh in ShiureiTorah the following measurements regarding challah apply:

1. Do not separate challah when using flour less than 1.23kg (approximately8 cups of unsifted flour or 9 cups of sifted flour).

2. Separate challah without a brocha when using flour weighing between 1.23kg and 1.67kg (between approximately 8 to 12 cups of unsifted flouror 9 and 15 cups of sifted flour).

Separate challah with a brocha when using flour weighing more than 1.67kg (approximately 12cups of unsifted flour or 15 cups of sifted flour) .

A more strict opinion rules that a brocha on taking challah should only be made ifthe flour used weighs more than 2.4kg.
