🎉 SAVE THE DATE 🎉
THIS YEAR’S GREAT BIG CHALLAH BAKE RETURNS ON NOVEMBER 13, 2025!
We’ll gather together in person, like challah bakers are doing around the world for this international event!
Learn how to make, braid, and bake an exceptional loaf of challah —
and discover the spirit of community contained within each loaf.
This year, as our challah dough rises, we’ll hear stories of baking and cooking from a panel of well-seasoned, local Jewish elders. Bread is life!
This FREE event is made possible by a generous grant from the Shepard Broad Foundation.
We are grateful to our Community Partners:
Beth El Synagogue, Chabad of Durham/Chapel Hill, Jewish Life at Duke, Judea Reform Congregation, Kehillah Synagogue, and Kol Haskalah.
