In hours full of laughter and love, they mix the ingredients, braid the dough, let it rise, and set the table, and finally, enjoy a scrumptious family dinner and the bread they made together.
Told through Sara Holly Ackerman's musical, rhyming verse and Alona Millgram's rich, whimsical art, Challah for Shabbat Tonight will warm readers' hearts and fill their bellies as they celebrate Jewish joy, familial love, and kitchen magic. A challah recipe is included in the back for those who want to bake along.Author: Sara Holly Ackerman
