# The one who made hamotzei should take a bite of the first piece and then cut the rest of the pieces.<ref>Mishna Brurah 167:79 quotes the achronim who say that initially one shouldn’t cut the challah for everyone listening before eating since that is a hefsek initially but after the fact it isn’t an issue.</ref> However, some have the practice to cut all of the pieces and only then eat. <ref>[Rav Hershel Schachter (Brachot Shiur 92 min 30)] said that his father’s practice was to cut all of the pieces of challah before he ate. He felt that was more derech eretz to cut up for everyone before you start to eat yourself. It is in line with the Rama 167:15.</ref> In that case the others have to wait to eat their piece until the one who made a bracha eats.<ref>Gemara Brachot 47a, Shulchan Aruch OC 167:15</ref> | |||
