“Challah bakes” have become so popular these days! More and more women have embraced the joys of challah baking – and “challah taking.” Taking challah is one of the mitzvos women enjoy most, and realizing the immense spiritual benefits it offers can transform a household chore into a transformative melding of ruchniyus and gashmiyus. Separating the sanctified challah portion while reciting blessings and personal prayers elevates a mundane chore to a sacred offering. Be uplifted through understanding the deep significance of this easy mitzvah.
