After eating lechem mishneh we have the zchus to bentch! Have you ever looked inside at the words of bentching? I was at a friend's table and looked at the front of the bentcher. A gentleman
in Israel had added kavannahs one should have in mind while bentching. If one has proper kavannah in her bentching it as though she has davened another Shemonah Esrei!!!
The two Challos are a reminder that the bracha before and the benching afterward should be understood as bookends that contain the entire meal within them. They transform the entire meal into a mighty prayer.
