Havurah Shalom
Havurah teens will learn how to braid, bake, and make challah in this multi-step tutorial. With prepared dough, your guide will teach you how to braid and bake challah for this month’s Kabbalat Shabbat congregants. While the challah is in the oven, you’ll make your own dough to take home and practice your new skills, providing a freshly baked challah for your family’s Shabbat celebration.
