Parshas Bishalach: Rav Shimshon Pincus - Fresh Bread Is Like A Moment Of Life
The Bnei Yisroel received fresh Man every day. Rav Shimshon Pincus makes the following observation. Bread is only good fresh. As bread gets older it becomes stale and loses its taste. Yet a cookie retains its taste for a much longer time. Why is this?
He answers that the main staple in a human diet it bread. It is the food that sustains life. As the bearer of life it is only valuable for the moment, just like Hashem gives us life one moment at a time and each new moment is a new Chiyus.
