Challah in its more widely- known usage refers to a braided bread traditionally eaten at Shabbat and other holidays, and is considered one of the most famous Jewish foods. But in its more basic, biblical meaning, challah is the piece of dough that is traditionally separated and consecrated to God while baking bread, a custom that has been performed by Jewish women for more than 100 generations. “Baking challah has always been a family tradition,” said Mina Eisenbach, one of the event organizers. “Challah is known to be a great source of blessings for good health.” The event is open to all, for more information and to RSVP, visit: chabadNW.org/RSVP Chabad Lubavitch of Northwest CT offers Jewish education, outreach and social service programming for families and individuals of all ages, backgrounds and affiliations.
