Challah and the Cycle of Life

It’s that time of year again! http://2ndmiddleage.blog/2021/09/27/celebrating-the-circle-of-life-with-round-challah-shapes/

Celebrating the Circle of Life with Round Challah Shapes

Round Challah shapes that we eat during the Jewish fall holiday cycle symbolize the circle of life, wholeness, and return (tshuvah).

Traditional Challah

When you make home-made challah for Shabbat or festivals, you gain a three-fold blessing in  your own home:  sanctifying  the everyday with the special experience of challah baking,  bringing the aroma of this timeless Jewish ritual into your kitchen, and of course sharing a taste  of the ‘world to come’ with our loved ones.
