QUESTION: What meaning
does the traditional braid on Jew-
ish Challah have? (Mrs. L. Nor
gan, New York City,
ANSWER: The exact origin of
this custom is not known. The
most popular reason seems to be
related to the fact that the braid
ing bears a marked resemblance
to a ladder. In the Talmud the
word "sulam" means q ladder"
(Talmud Babli, Tractate Sabbath
26a) and "chain-stitch (Talmud
Babli, Tractate Moad Kotan 26b)
indicating that the latter (Which
resembles braiding) term gains it's
name from the fact that it re-
sembles "a ladder. In many books
we find mention of the customs
of making High Holidays Challahs
in the form of ladders, (probably
braided or trimmed with braids.)
The reason for this form is taken
from the Midrashic portion
(Midrash Rabbah- Genesis) which
claims that the Lord makes lad
.ders in heaven" upon which he
flowers some people while he
raises others" The High Holidays,
during which the fate of humans
is decided upon, is similarly con-
sidered as a raising and lowering
process where one man is elevated
while another may be degraded.
From this the custom must have
spread and been applied to the
Challahs of every Sabbath-per-
haps implying that the arrival of
the Sabbath raises an individual
to the loftiest of spiritual heights
and it's exit brings him back down
again to material considerations.
QUESTION: Is there any place
in Jewish Law that it is written
that a child cannot be named for
a living person?
ANSWER: In a book called
"Sever Chasidim" the author,
Judah, the Pious" definitely pro-
hibits naming children after liv-
ing persons. It is interesting to
note that for a time it was custom
ary to name Jewish children after
living persons = usually grand
parents. It was later discouraged
for a number of reasons. Some
writers feel that it was prohibited
because of the spread of such a
custom among foreign nations.
Others feel that it was preferable
to name the child after deceased
persons in order to protest and
promote geneologies. Others feel
that it was a means of promoting
the feeling of immortality imply
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1948-01-30


ing that the dead can thrive
through the living. Many claim
that doing so avoids some con-
fusion involved in having two rel
atives bearing the same names.
Whatever the reason, Jewish peo-
pie today are very strict about
this custom. On the other hand
there are definite sects among
Jews which still name children
only after living relatives. Many
communities do so.
