Challah bread is a delicious slightly sweet or savory (you choose!) egg-rich yeast-leavened bread that is usually braided or twisted and is traditionally eaten by Jewish folk on holidays. In support of our Jewish community members, let's learn how to make challah bread with the aid of a bread machine while putting our thoughts and energy towards the hardships and persecution Jews are facing worldwide. We stand united in standing up against anti-semitic discourse, attitudes, discrimination, and hate. Let's spend this time in community engaging in peace building. A portion of the class fee will be donated to the Manhattan Jewish Congregation. Anyone is welcome. Youth 6-13 must be accompanied by an adult.
