Challah baking is the perfect opportunity as a family to get creative and have some fun! Join the Sherwinter Family live from Israel for a family rainbow challah class. We will send you the recipe and ingredients in advance so you can bake along with Karli and Kai to achieve the perfect rainbow challah. This is a great activity for kids as young as 3 to bake along with a caregiver.

We are once again partnering with Moe’s Broadway Bagels to donate loaves of challah to people in our community experiencing food insecurity. When you complete your registration you will have the option to add on a challah to donate.
