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.

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!
