The Hebrew words "זו היא מצות החלה – this is the mitzvah of challah" has the same gematria as 613. For whoever does the mitzvah of challah properly, it's as if he has fulfilled all 613 mitzvos.
Furthermore, if you take the letter that comes before [or after] each of the letters of the word "חלה," you get "זכו - they merited." In the merit of the mitzvah of Challah, the Jews were granted entry to the Land of Israel.
