Reply To: Why is Challah Braided?

I always thought it was as a reminder that on the very first erev shabbos, Hashem braided Chava’s hair before presenting her to Adam, who was called the “challah of the earth”. So a braid in challah = adam and chava –> the 7 days of creation, for which Shabbos is an Ois that H’ created the world. I don’t have a source, but that’s what I remember reading somewhere.
