Challah Role


I have found, in my experience of making challah, that there is a personal lesson and meaning not just in the final product of the bread we eat, but in the process of making this holy bread itself.

gluten free challah
I've tried and tried to find a really, really good gluten-free challah? Does anybody have a recipe?

Wow! I really liked how u were able to compare the challah and relate it to our daily life and struggles that we encounter. Very creative! Keep it up!

I have cherished memories of baking Chalah with my grandma as a kid, and the wondeful bonds between both of us and G-d. I do miss those times alot, thanks to this article the memories have come back to me. And now when I buy chalah at the special bakery in my area- that has the same smell of the fresh baked chalah- these memories will be saviored, and not rushed though! Thanks for this special article.

How true this article is and what a wonderful way of putting into words the meaning and expression behind "Challah and Child rearing". What a blessing this article is. I love to bake my Challah on Erev Shabbat and share it at out Shabbat table! Shalom Alechem

Very well stated. Challah is such an amazing bread. It's ability to teach us and absorb what we have learned, amazes me weekly. It is great to hear of other people experiences with the gift of making challah. Thank you for sharing this with us.

A fabulous article with lots of 'food for thought". The author is not only a very talented baker and writer, but she is a wonderful mother and example for her children. A non-biased........Bubbie Plotkin!

so true!
Came across this article just now. It has such significance to me as a mother of two young children who recently began making Challa. Thank you for reminding me to take more time and patience with my Challos and my children! There's always room for improvement!

I WANDER...
I wander how old are your children ? Have they gone through adolescence yet?
yours, sounds like an ideal picture of the challah and the children and the choices you proudly make: they all seem to hit right on target.
After several readings i am still left in front of a hard act to follow in REAL LIFE.
