Twist of Tradition: Hands-On Challah

Braid your own challah to take home and bake, then fill your kitchen with the comforting aroma of fresh bread and Shabbat.
About this Event

Slow down and savor the moment. Step out of the week’s hustle and into the rhythm of Shabbat with challah braiding – where tradition meets community in the most delicious way. As we braid the bread dough, we’ll weave our connections, stories and a touch of joy into every strand.

Drop in on the fourth Friday for a hands-on experience. Each month offers a fresh twist with new shapes, seasonal flavors and creative braids, while the classics you love are always on hand. Challah dough is made by our friends at Wise Sons.

As summer gives way to new routines and a new school year, braid intention into every loaf. August welcomes the Hebrew month of Elul, a season of reflection, return, and sweet beginnings. Inspired by teshuvah, the Jewish practice of reflecting, repairing, and returning to our best selves, this month invites you to pause, reconnect, and explore flavors that capture the spirit of the season.

Think apple and cinnamon, honey, fig and rosemary, or pomegranate. Feeling adventurous? Try cardamom and date, tahini and chocolate, or a swirl of black sesame and golden sprinkles. Whether you're marking the start of a school year, settling into a new rhythm, or simply welcoming the season ahead, your challah is a delicious way to begin.

All are welcome. No culinary experience needed.

RSVP encouraged. Drop-in welcome while supplies last.
