Challah Making with a Twist!

The twist is...there IS no twist. Never braided dough in your life? Nevermind, because for the High Holidays we make Challah loaves round, and add delicious sweet raisins or chocolate chips for a sweet year.  Learn why making Challah for Shabbat & Holidays is one of the three most important mitzvot for women.  While we're mixing and kneading, Bassie Marcus will delve into the deeper meaning of this mitzvah and teach its special significance to upcoming Rosh Hashana. There will be delicious challah already baked for us to eat too, along with several delicious dips, salads, kugel and for a sweet New Year's treat...honey cookies! Come hungry...for knowledge, sisterhood and food, of course!
