At the first-ever “Mega Challah Bake,” a Bat Mitzvah celebration for Livington, N.J., 12-year-old Chaya Grossbaum, approximately 400 young girls and women baked 800 loaves of challah bread, half of which were destined to be given to needy individuals.

Chaya Grossbaum, daughter of Chabad-Lubavitch of Livingston directors Rabbi Zalman and Toba Grossbaum, addresses guests at her Oct. 14 Bat Mitzvah celebration at the Alex Aidekman Jewish Community Campus in Whippany, N.J.

Loaves of Love That is just the coolest, most amazing idea! I absolutely love that idea! Mazel Tov Chaya and family.....a room full of mitzvos....wow! my only question: did each person "take challah" individually or was all the dough combined to do the mitzvah? cool. I love that idea. thanks for sharing. Reply
