("The homeowner breaks [the bread] and the guest blesses; the homeowner breaks—in order that he break with a generous eye, and the guest blesses—in order that he bless the homeowner. What does he bless? ‘May it be the will [of God] that the homeowner not be ashamed in this world and not be humiliated in the World to Come,’ and the rabbi adds further words: ‘and may he greatly prosper in all his possessions, and may his possessions and our possessions be successful and close to the city’"—Berakhot 46a; and likewise: “And he commanded him as the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses (Numbers 27:23)—and He made him like a vessel full and overflowing and filled him with His wisdom with a generous eye”—Rashi on Numbers 27:23; and likewise: “It was worthwhile to see the contentment and the affection and the light that shone from the broad and open face of Levinsky, at the time when he stood and served his guests and poured for them, with a generous eye, cup after cup…”—Bialik / HaManoach Levinsky; and likewise: “Upon his entrance the consul would look at him with a good eye and say, ‘You have grown greatly,’ and would extend greetings to him in the manner in which greetings are extended to a great man”—Agnon / Ad Hena, Shevu‘at Emunim, 173)
