On-line resource for Challah - Jewish Recipes and Kosher Cooking

Challah (hallah) (Hebrew:חלה) also known as khale (eastern Yiddish), barches (German and western Yiddish), berches (Swabian), barkis (Gothenburg), bergis (Stockholm), and kitke (South Africa), is a special braided bread eaten by Ashkenazi and by some groups of Sephardic Jews on the Sabbath and holidays. Challah bread is also prodominately used for French toast in New York diners.

According to Jewish tradition, Sabbath and holiday meals begin with a blessing over two loaves of bread. This "double loaf" (in Hebrew: lechem mishneh) commemorates the manna that fell from the heavens when the Israelites wandered in the desert for forty years after the Exodus from Egypt. The manna did not fall on the Sabbath or holidays; instead, a double portion fell before the Sabbath and holidays. It is these loaves, recognizable by their traditional braided style, that are commonly referred to as challah.
