Challah Bake

Thursday, July 9, 4:30pm
In-Person Only

Families and adults of all ages are invited to roll up their sleeves and take part in this hands-on, heart-filled experience: mixing, kneading, and braiding challah dough from scratch, preparing a beautiful centerpiece for Shabbat.

While the dough rises, children will enjoy fun, supervised activities and a pizza dinner, while adults gather for refreshments, conversation, and learning to explore the deeper meaning of challah and Shabbat through Jewish texts and symbolism.

This is more than a baking event; it’s a chance to slow down and experience something truly special and holy, making challah by hand and transforming simple ingredients into nourishment for both body and soul. Come be part of this joyful community experience.

Tisha B’Av, is a day of intense mourning for the Jewish people. It is a time when we commemorate many hardships and horrors that have befallen the Jewish people from the destruction of the Temples, our expulsion from Spain, and current day horrors.

On the eve of this day, we read both from Megillat Eicha, the book of lamentations, and kinot, poetic lamentation.

You are invited to join us at the Jewish Center for a thoughtful reading and discussion about what it means to mourn, and how do we heal.
