Join us for a hands-on baking workshop where we’ll be learning how to knead and shape your very own challah bread!
Discover the rich traditions behind this tasty egg-enriched loaf and its special connection to the Jewish day of rest. As our bread bakes, we’ll dive into some fascinating stories from the museum’s collection.
You’ll get to take your bread home with you, along with the recipe to make it for all your friends and family. Plus, we’ll have a variety of toppings and fillings for you to make your perfect loaf. Whether you like it sweet, savoury, or somewhere in between, we’ve got you covered. Come knead, braid, and bake with us for a day of delicious learning and tasty treats!
