SAR Academy Families Come Together for Parent-Child Challah Bake

About 20 families gathered at SAR Academy for the Beneinu Middle School Parent-Child Challah Bake, led by Mrs. Lauryn Weiser. The event brought parents and children together to learn, prepare challah dough and enjoy time with one another.

Using Mrs. Weiser’s egg-free challah recipe, participants mixed and kneaded their dough while learning braiding techniques to try at home. Families took their dough home to rise and braid, extending the evening’s activity into their preparations for Shabbat.

For one student, Avigayil Zirkind (7U), making challah with her mother was just the beginning. She looked forward to braiding the dough with her mother and sisters and sharing the finished challah at their Shabbat table.

“The most important and delicious part of my Shabbos is going to be sharing the challah that I made with everyone I love,” she reflected.

Organized by Mrs. Weiser and Ms. Ayala Raice, the evening offered families a chance to connect through a hands-on experience and bring something they had made together to their Shabbat tables.
