Description

This sweet, rhyming, beautifully illustrated picture book celebrates Jewish joy and intergenerational love as it follows a girl and her grandmother preparing for Shabbat dinner by baking traditional challah from scratch.

A little girl and her grandmother spend Friday afternoon preparing for Shabbat by making challah.

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.

Whether you’re enjoying the book with your family at home or at your local library, school, synagogue, or challah-baking event, explore this page to find guitar chords, hand motions, coloring pages, and more goodies to help you get the most out of this charming and heartwarming picture book!
