The Day I understood the Challah

24,90 $

Why does challah hold such a special place on the Shabbat table? In this new work, Yehuda Aboujedid invites us to discover the history and profound significance of the braided bread passed down through generations. Through gentle and poetic illustrations, the reader explores the origins of challah, the memory of manna in the desert, the symbolism of its braids, and the values of gratitude, sharing, and the bonds that unite us. Far more than a simple loaf, challah becomes an invitation to reflect on what we receive, what we give, and the light we can bring to the world around us. Accessible to children and adults alike, to those of the Jewish faith and those discovering the tradition for the first time, this book offers a universal, warm, and inspiring perspective on a timeless symbol. A book about bread. But above all, a book about what truly nourishes the soul.
