This holiday season, as you gather with companions around the table, consider the ancient wisdom baked into that word itself. “Companion” comes from the Latin words meaning “with bread” – literally describing someone you share bread with. For thousands of years, breaking bread together has been one of humanity’s most profound ways of creating bonds and celebrating community. Whether you’re sharing grandma’s dinner rolls, traditional challah, or a slice of panettone, remember that every shared meal continues this timeless tradition of transforming simple wheat into moments of meaningful connection.
