Faith In Brooklyn for Oct. 30
First Ever Brooklyn Challah Bake Gathers More Than 2,000 Women of All Generations
Damascus Bakery’s Challah Loaf Wins Notice in ‘Guinness Book of World Records’
More than 2,000 women and girls packed Grand Prospect Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 21 for The Shabbos Project’s first Brooklyn Challah Bake. Standing in a line that stretched for more than a block long for the event, the young ladies exuded joy and enthusiasm throughout. They each were supplied with a bowl, utensils and the ingredients for challah bread. Working as a team, they made the dough, then danced and sang during the hour it took for it to rise. Leaders reminded the bread bakers that even as it rests, the dough is working, and its interior transformation is invisible.
