Kindergarten Challah
Challah bread is the quintessential Israeli experience. Every Friday morning the intoxicating scents of freshly baked challahs fill the air. Challah bread is a staple of the traditional Shabbat dinner in nearly every home and baking challahs with the kids is the main attraction in nearly every Israeli kindergarten, both religious and non-religious. Every Friday, the children make sweet and (very) tasty individual-size challahs or challah buns with the kindergarten staff, and it never gets old. That’s why, in my opinion, this tradition of challah baking is more cultural than religious.
