Chabad of S. Barbara County is delighted to invite local women to their Mega Challah Bake, “Rising Together. Strengthening the Jewish Woman.” Each attendee will prepare two Challahs – one for herself, and another to give to someone who needs a bit of extra affection and support.
Attendees will prepare the dough from the beginning. They will knead and braid the mixture into loaves of Challah (braided bread). The women will then have the option to select from a range of toppings to embellish their Challah.
The event will also include several workshops on braiding challah and the unique significance of this tradition.
Mega Challah Bake is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 23, at 6 p.m. The gathering will be hosted at the Cabrillo Pavilion, 1118 E. Cabrillo Blvd., Santa Barbara. Mega Challah Bake welcomes everyone, with tickets priced at $36 and $10 for students. Sponsorship opportunities are available to help cover the expenses of the gathering.
“Making Challah is a long-standing tradition upheld by women dating back to the Matriarch Sarah,” remarked Mrs. Rochel Loschak, associate director of Chabad of S. Barbara. Mega Challah Bake has evolved into an event that women eagerly anticipate throughout the year. We also consider it a vital occasion for the Jewish community to come together. This is a wonderful opportunity to unite with women from various backgrounds and share a common goal – the dissemination of love.”
All women are encouraged to attend. For further details regarding SB Mega Challah Bake, please email Rochel Loschak at rloschak@gmail.com, or secure your spot at www.sbchabad.org/challahbake.
