CHALLAH BAKE

We were thrilled to see so many of you at our Family Challah Bake for an evening of solidarity, community, and mitzvot. The Challah Fairy led us in a master class on braiding challah, and the bracha of hafrashat challah was led by the YHT alumni Toplan and Waxman families in zechut of their sons currently serving in the IDF. Thank you to the PTA Challah Bake Committee, Michaela Kalandarev, Rachel Licht, and Leemor Schickman; and to Ephi, Jarrod, Carolina, and the ELC maintenance crew for their help with setup and logistics. To all of our sponsors, thank you for making the evening possible – tizku l’mitzvot!
