Children between 5-13 from across the Five Towns came together with family members at the Kids Mega Challah Bake at The Brandeis School on Jan. 28, sponsored by the Chabad of the Five Towns.
For 90 minutes, the youngsters learned what ingredients go into the traditional Jewish bread, how to knead the dough and all the customs that accompany baking challah.
