Another interesting point, is that this Mitzvah is one of the very first Mitzvot which took effect at the moment that the Jewish people entered the Land of Israel, as the Torah states, introducing the Mitzva of Challah: “When you come to the Land... The Talmud6 points out that the reason the Heh ‫ ה‬has a gap between the top of the letter and its left foot, is so that those who have sinned can repent: the gap enables them to return ‘inside’ the realm of holiness. The achievement of such a dwelling for the Divine turns the world back to the wonderful situation of the beginning of Creation, when Adam and Eve 1 Reshit Arisoteichem 5728, published in Dvarmalchut Shelach 5775. The Mitzvah of Challah means that holiness flows into the physical aspects of the daily world, which is the goal of Creation, and also that it repairs the error at the beginning of existence. It thus paves the way for the re-entry into the Land of Israel for the Jewish people as a whole with Moshiach, who will come and redeem us and bring us all back to our holy Land, very soon. Eating from the Tree of Knowledge was the sin which gave Adam and Eve a terrible flaw which led to them being driven out of the Garden, and to all the negative things that followed. The problem was that Adam and Eve sinned, and this was followed by other sins, which led to a coarsening of the Jewish people and a hiding of the Divine Presence. This Mitzva is also mentioned in a verse in Ezekiel (44:30), which adds that separating Challah will have the effect of ‘bringing blessing to your home’.
