I've tried your challah recipe already and I love the taste, however I think I can't get the baking right. Can you help? Since I currently have to live away by myself I make mini challot (I use around 100g of dough for each) so that I can have two whole loaves for each Shabbat meal and not waste too much. I do three strand braids or four strands, usually long (like the letter ו) or round for Rosh Hashana. I feel like I always overbake them because I am scared of underbaking them. Can you give me a tip how long to bake them and at what temperature? Thank you so much for this video and all the other ones. You make me feel like I have a family or friend who understands me and I'm not alone. I am very grateful. B"H ❤
Sara thank you for your video. As a polish Christian my grandmother used to make this bread and I wanted to surprise my father with “chalka”. I found this video absolutely enlightening and made my day a very special day! I love to cook baking is new for me. This video put a very new perspective on how I appreciate food and how thankful we all should be! In Gods name! ✝️✡️❤️
Dr Sara, I want to thank you for introducing us to orthodox lifestyle. I am a Christian that lived in Saudi Arabia for 7 years. Where I experienced Islam. I believe there is wisdom in all faiths. Thank you for introducing us to orthodox lifestyle. Even us Christians should keepTorah. May God bless you and your family
You can never prayer too much . I think it's beautiful. I am a messianic believer we do both the Thorah portion and brit Cadesha or new covenant . so Robert continue to be inspired and prayer if the entire world could prayer like Sara does first thing in the morning what a beautiful world this would be . @@sbug2705
I am Catholic and have a tremendous love and respect for my Jewish brothers and sisters. Salvation for all comes from the Jewish faith. God bless you and your family. I enjoy your sharing all aspects of your traditional way of life. Living close to your faith with everything you do gives you the joy that is obviously comes across in your videos. Praying for Israel at this time.
@@frumitup Absolutely! Bacteremia sepsis has fried my brain a little bit but the first example off the top of my head is my photography. I spend a lot of time in the hospital or various doctor's offices and I firmly believe that the staff does not get enough gratitude or credit. So I print up some of my scenic photos and when I pick up the order of them, I take each individual one in my hands and I pray. "Lord Gott, I don't know who this photo will wind up in the hands of, but I ask You to bless them." One of my all time favorite things to do is that at every shift change, I ask each nurse and each CNA to choose an extra photo. Then I jot a little prayer, a Scripture verse, or simply a note of encouragement on the back of it and have them give it to a patient that is having a particularly rough time. (If they desire to participate, obviously. Over the years, I've had two people decline to participate and I certainly understand! It's not for everyone.) I figure it's win-win-win. I get to be reminded to pray for the other patients, the other patient gets a little reminder that a stranger cares and is praying for them, and the staff member gets to be the person to facilitate God's love. I hope this does not sound prideful, as it certainly is not meant to be. It is just the first example off the top of my head and I LOVE doing it. So much love and prayers to you and your family tonight, sweet Sara!
As I watched you making your Challah I was amazed at the beauty of the dough. I used to be a baker and the bakery I worked at was known in the local Jewish community for the Challa we made. We were not a Jewish bakery but we did ask the local temple to come and make sure we didn't do anything that would render the Challa not kosher or unusable for the local Jewish community. They gave us their blessing and would come in on the days we were making the Challa. My favorite part of making the Challah was braiding it! That was so much fun! And making the round Challa was a joy! Thank you for giving me a recipe for Challa again! The bakery closed years ago and I lost the recipe we used. I just know I love Challa but I am happy that I can make Challah for my Jewish friends who are baking challanged. Thank you!
I loved this video. I have always assumed that there were too many ‘rules’ to Judaism. Now I can see the error of my thinking. Everything that you do is done with intention. Once one is familiar with ‘why’ something is done, the act becomes more of a habit and not looked at as a burden or obscure rule. Explaining your prayers through each step of the Challah process was truly beautiful. Thank you for inviting me into your channel. I feel so welcome, and I have learned so much!
I love challah! I teared up when you explained the deep spiritual moment of separating the challah, including us in your prayers. You are so generous to share your challah recipe and methods, as well as your prayers from the heart. I will be gathering my courage (I am not a baker!) soon, to try your recipe--it looks so tempting. Thank you, Sara. To you and anyone reading, know that today you are so loved!
I hope it's okay for a man to make challah, because I did today. I have a life goal: “to become famous with my grandkids.” I have 5. So I thought we could return to Shabbat. My mom was Sephardic, but we did not celebrate Shabbat. I feel it's time. The bread is braided and rising. I'm glad I figured out how to play TH-cam at 25% speed to figure out the braid. I love Challah. Oh, yes I did pray at the start for all to go well. Here’s hoping!
Sara I would love it if one day you would do a video on how you stay so positive. Your life is so busy, and yet you seem to have such a joy in your heart. I would love to hear more abut that someday as its something I struggle with. G.od bless you!
As a retired professional baker I think this video is one of the best I've seen so far. I love kneading by hand because the feel of the dough, once it is being worked, tells you how good it will turn out to be.
Sara Malka - I started making your challah recipe a year ago and it always comes out fluffy and delicious -- I've said goodbye to dense challah forever. Wishing you. and your family a gmar chatima tova. I love challah!
When I come home from work I need to wash the day away before I get into comfortable clothes. I am going to try this recipe, it looks delicious. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you for this video. Again it was fun to watch and so educational. Today, I braided a bracelet for my grandson. Suddenly, I am thinking: Oh my, I am not singing, but I am sure using the same words as the daughter of Mrs. From it up! I talked to myself until the bracelet was done! It helped me. Please, let your daughter know! I have never before braided with more than 3 strings, be it yarn or dough!
Shalom Sara(h) I'm not sure of the spelling, i love the name! I just found your channel and I love the heart and soul you put into everything you do. We are working on doing this way of life. Your life is beautiful and I am excited and thankful for your teaching through sharing your experiences. A true Proverbs 31 woman. Bless you and your family ❤❤❤ we all are in need of learning and growing in the ways of our faith. You are an inspiration and I could smell my mom's bread as you broke the roll open. Yummy!! I could smell her baking bread for 2 blocks when getting off the school bus when I was young. I also love the prayers over everything. What a beautiful way of doing everything. How awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and yours and Shabbat Shalom!! ❤❤
I love Challah. This was soo peaceful. I actually went to numbers as I never read about the bread command. It was reflective and showed how much we don't do because we don't study the bible for ourselves.
Watched a video on how water molecules realign into more beautiful shapes after praying over the water. I pray over my water, before filling my coffee pot, drinking a glass, etc. I will add more prayers to my cooking as you do as it is beautiful & worshipful🙏
Christians never speak of the Holy Feminine, much to our loss. Your loaves are lovely. There is nothing more comforting than the smell of good food cooking, and very few tasks more holy than preparing that food. Blessing be on you and yours.
I love Challah and I loved this video and presentation. I am an Italian-Catholic and have always respected the Jewish faith. Your prayers and Bible verses have touched me deeply. I am truly indebted to you. May the good Lord bless you and guide your mind, heart and hands in all that you do.
I'm totally agnostic but I absolutely love the prayer and thought that goes into making the Challah. I love to cook and bake. My kids will ask me why something tastes so yummy and I always tell them its because its made with love and its my secret ingredient! My middle child loves Challah and your video has reminded me to make some for him soon. Sending you a barróg agus póg (hug and kiss)from Ireland 💚🇮🇪
I'm Episcopalian, when I met my future in-laws at Thanksgiving, a month before our wedding, I brought a homemade Challah to break with my soon to be family. It was still warm when I arrived after an eight hour drive. My soon to be MIL was so impressed. It is a beautiful loaf of bread made more lovely with the prayers.
Hi Sarah, I ❤challah! What struck me as most beautiful was how you said a prayer after each ingredient was added. I think that is so special and elevates the challah to something more meaningful. You have given me much food for thought, as usual. x
Im making challah right along with with inshallah it turns out as great as yours! I'm not jewish but muslim I think this would be great for our Friday dinners it's like our sabbath too!
My family is a proper mix, Irish Catholic, Jewish grandfather, Muslim partner ( sadly passed ) We celebrated everything.... and for the Turkish side of the family bread is very important. These recipes are very familiar to me and the challah bread is so like the sharing ramadan bread we had for various celebrations .... We all have more in common so should not be warmongering.... politicians have a lot to answer for.... It's not religion that's the problem, it's the male dominated ego's ...
I did it. O my goodness 😮🎉 Your instructions were amazing. I do not like to bake and that’s putting it mildly. However, I was so inspired by how easy you made it for people such as myself. Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can. I’ll be sharing it at our synagogue this week, God willing.

Thank you for this today. I am on a path of disentagling my faith after terrible situation. The knowledge that I can pray and focus on G while cooking and doing the mundane brings me so much peace
My Challah turned out beautifully...on my first try because you are a patient teacher. What excited me most is that FINALLY another woman is using a mixer like mine. I've been baking bread with my Bosch Magic Mixer since 1977. Now, however, I am no longer a new mother, but a great-grandmother with three sons, nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. My boys came home from school to the smell of baking bread (bringing their friends of course), all made in my precious Bosch Mixer. The amazing smell of baking bread fulfilled not only the hunger of their bodies, but their hunger for tradition, family, and love for one another. I loved giving the gift of those memories to my sons. Making a beautiful Challah was something I always dreamed of being able to do, but I was too intimidated to try...after all Challah is above and beyond bread as you taught in this video. I cannot thank you enough for the loving Challah lesson, with the mixer that has sustained my family for over fifty years, and your blessing at the end of the video that brings peace to my heart and tears to my eyes...I so yearn for the days when my children were tiny and as close as the kitchen table instead of spread out over Canada and the U.S. leaving me alone. Your blessing is so needed and appreciated. Thank you beyond words.
Thank you & Adonai for making this video. I have been challah challenged in my attempts to get my challah light & fluffy. It tastes fine, like any freshly baked bread, but the texture has always come out wrong. Yours is the best video I've seen on baking challah. You have given me incentive to get it right next time I bake for Shabbat. Blessings be upon you & yours this day & always.
I love bread making. It’s something that makes me feel connected to all the women who come before me, knowing they would make bread the same way I can make it today. I feel the same when I knit (even though knitting is a much newer process than making bread.)
Thank you for this video! My partner was raised Jewish and they're not practicing and more secular now, but they do miss the food. I've been meaning to make them challah and this video is so thorough that i intend to revisit it until i can make it all on my own. I hope you have a wonderful day!
@@frumitup oh i do try! They have as much a right to their traditions as anyone else, and so much of this world seems to expect everyone to be christian with little acommodation for those who aren't. I figure if I can make life a little nicer at the cost of a few hours out of my day, there's no reason not to. And if i'm being completely honest, having fresh bread in the house is as good a motivation as any ^-^
I love CHALLAH! What a joy to discover your videos today. Blessings on you your family all your viewers and all Israel as we enter the new year may it be one of peace, health, prosperity, and love for all humanity
Ooooo, YUM! Sara & wonderful, amazing Frummies... I cannot wait to watch this & see you ALL today! Huge, huge hugs to everyone who wants or needs one. 😊 ❤
thank you sweetie! Just to make you laugh: we have 21 thumbs up thank G.od and we already have all the negative people who without even seeing the video disliked the video so we are at a 95,5% approval rate!! ahhhh what can we do :) see you soon sweetie :) and thank you to be so AMAZING!
Dear Sara, how beautiful and inspirational this 'baking Challah bread' video was. I never imagined how much you can bring the mundane close to the divine. I love your Jewish spirituality. So much to learn! Thank you so much for sharing your light with the rest of us. God richly bless! 🌟💜🌟
I love that you incorporate so many beautiful prayers, they're like poetry! I'm having a bad chronic pain day today and this video popping up helped me to feel so much less alone. Thank you for doing what you do. You're my Challah, too!
I've watched videos of others making challah, but you explained the entire process - including the most important part - the prayers. Thank you so much for such a beautiful video. May you be blessed.
I love Challah! Though I am not Jewish, I had the honor of making it for the bat mitzvahs of the daughters of close family friends. I love the thoughts and prayers you shared in your process. Although I don’t have that knowledge or tradition, baking bread, especially for the special occasions for my friends, is still a process in which I put love and goodwill into it for all who will be nourished, as we should do with all the food we prepare.
A sobering fact is that the Holocaust would not have occurred if not for a Christianity. 26 of the 27 books in the New Testament are anti-Semitic. A glowing example is from John chapter 8 verse 44. All of the early church fathers were vehemenly anti-Semitic. John Calvin was instrumental in having Michael Servetus burned alive at the stake in 1553 for rejecting the Trinity and other theological issues. Plus, they even made this method of execution more horrific by using slow burning green wood. John Calvin would have made a fabulous SS officer for Nazi Germany.
I loved the explanations of the spiritual meanings of every part of the process of making the challah. I’ll definitely watch this again because these understandings can benefit me as a Christian.
Sara, I love it when you remind us to pray particularly when we are doing simple, ordinary daily tasks. Your videos have helped me to have more prayer throughout my days. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Sara for taking the time to do these videos . Its so informative , well put together and I love your wisdom . It's so refreshing to see a pious professional woman cook, bake , take care of her home and children and always putting God first. It's just so beautiful!
as most in the comments, i’m not orthodox, but the intention, time, love, & faith incorporated into this recipe moved me emotionally. intention is very important in my personal spiritual beliefs, and i can feel the positive energy radiating out of this video & challah bread. i love the idea of women being able to bring good energy & faith out from the earth while baking. thank you for always sharing your life & journey with us, dr sara.
What a blessing you are for sharing this with us - thank you. 🤍. My favorite parts are the prayers and blessings as you go. Bread making and baking is something I don't do often because there are so many steps and I want to do it well. But having every part of the process have a special prayer or blessing or scripture made this a spiritual journey. I always want those who eat my food to enjoy it, and I'm always thankful for God's provision, but this is something completely different and I can't thank you enough. WE are blessed to have YOU here on TH-cam. 🙏🕊️🤍 BTW: I love Challah 😊
You are a wonderful teacher and spiritual model. Your example has helped in my life and relationship with God. Thank you for including us in your prayers.❤❤😊
Sara, not only is this a fantastic step-by-step guide to making Challah, it is made with such love and care (as are all your videos) I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and energy to post videos in addition to everything else you have going on in your life. You are a blessing not only to your family and your patients, but to your viewers as well. May God continue to bless you and protect you and your family. 💖💖💖💖
I LOVE CHALLAH. Your prayers during the creation process are so touching. I have a Jewish butcher/ restaurant by my home that serves delicious challah French toast but I'm going to try and make the bread myself with reverence. Thank you again for a beautiful video.
I’m always inspired by the beauty, joy, love and spirit of G-d that you bring to every task. Considering that you balance homemaking with a demanding profession is incredible. The Almighty blessed you with extraordinary gifts!💞
There is something satisfying about making yeast breads: the warm, yeasty smell, the feel of the dough and the yummy golden-brown bread when it comes out of the overn.
Not the video to watch if you’re trying to stay away from carbs ! I wanted to reach through the screen and grab a hunk of that challah! It looks delicious. Thank you, Sarah !
Dear Sara, how many lovely memories you have brought forth watching you make challah! My Mother was an excellent bread baker. As I watched your hands dance across the dough, I was reminded of how much love my Mother put into all her baking. She always shared the bread she made with others: to the church bake sales, to our family at all the holiday meals, to the neighbors, and to me after I was married as a reminder that I was special to her. Unfortunately, Mama never shared her skill at baking her own bread with anyone. Watching you show step by step bread making with not only a practical side, but a prayerful side makes me wonder if I could do so as well. I love challah, and I love watching your videos my friend. May G.od bless you today and always.
This was the most beautiful way to not only show how to make something but to incorporate the very actions to our own lives!!! I will be using this as a tutorial for my babes.
I love challah! My favorite part is that you pray for your friends and family throughout the process. I'm a knitter and I do the same thing as I knit gifts for my friends and family. I feel like they can feel my love as they wear my knitted items!
I love challah! Sara, I can't wait to try your recipe. A couple of things: 1. Your work clothes in this video looked both beautiful and comfortable! 2. My late Mom had absolutely NO luck with making anything with yeast.😊 She made great quick breads, but yeasted breads of any kind something would go seriously wrong. She could laugh about it though, so it made her quick breads even more delicious! I hope you and your family have a wonderful and joyous week!

I am Catholic and have a tremendous love and respect for my Jewish brothers and sisters. Salvation for all comes from the Jewish faith. God bless you and your family. I enjoy your sharing all aspects of your traditional way of life. Living close to your faith with everything you do gives you the joy that is obviously comes across in your videos. Praying for Israel at this time.
The various analogies of you explaining why you pray a specific prayer with each ingredient was my favorite part!
Mine too because I love to add meaning to my actions ❤️❤️ how about you?
@@frumitup Absolutely! Bacteremia sepsis has fried my brain a little bit but the first example off the top of my head is my photography. I spend a lot of time in the hospital or various doctor's offices and I firmly believe that the staff does not get enough gratitude or credit. So I print up some of my scenic photos and when I pick up the order of them, I take each individual one in my hands and I pray. "Lord Gott, I don't know who this photo will wind up in the hands of, but I ask You to bless them." One of my all time favorite things to do is that at every shift change, I ask each nurse and each CNA to choose an extra photo. Then I jot a little prayer, a Scripture verse, or simply a note of encouragement on the back of it and have them give it to a patient that is having a particularly rough time. (If they desire to participate, obviously. Over the years, I've had two people decline to participate and I certainly understand! It's not for everyone.) I figure it's win-win-win. I get to be reminded to pray for the other patients, the other patient gets a little reminder that a stranger cares and is praying for them, and the staff member gets to be the person to facilitate God's love.
I hope this does not sound prideful, as it certainly is not meant to be. It is just the first example off the top of my head and I LOVE doing it. So much love and prayers to you and your family tonight, sweet Sara!
Same! Talk about frumming it up. That's beautiful, truly.
As I watched you making your Challah I was amazed at the beauty of the dough. I used to be a baker and the bakery I worked at was known in the local Jewish community for the Challa we made. We were not a Jewish bakery but we did ask the local temple to come and make sure we didn't do anything that would render the Challa not kosher or unusable for the local Jewish community. They gave us their blessing and would come in on the days we were making the Challa.
My favorite part of making the Challah was braiding it! That was so much fun! And making the round Challa was a joy! Thank you for giving me a recipe for Challa again! The bakery closed years ago and I lost the recipe we used. I just know I love Challa but I am happy that I can make Challah for my Jewish friends who are baking challanged. Thank you!
I loved this video. I have always assumed that there were too many ‘rules’ to Judaism. Now I can see the error of my thinking. Everything that you do is done with intention. Once one is familiar with ‘why’ something is done, the act becomes more of a habit and not looked at as a burden or obscure rule. Explaining your prayers through each step of the Challah process was truly beautiful. Thank you for inviting me into your channel. I feel so welcome, and I have learned so much!
Thank you so so much Shelly! I feel so blessed you are here with an open mind and heart ❤️
Stay safe and blessed
I love challah! I teared up when you explained the deep spiritual moment of separating the challah, including us in your prayers. You are so generous to share your challah recipe and methods, as well as your prayers from the heart. I will be gathering my courage (I am not a baker!) soon, to try your recipe--it looks so tempting. Thank you, Sara. To you and anyone reading, know that today you are so loved!
I do bake bread and am quite good at it. Her recipes work very well.
Awww thank you so much Jeni❤️❤️❤️you’ve got this!!!
@@collinsfriend1 awwww amazing! Thank you for the feedback ❤️❤️❤️
I teared up as well. Such beautiful prayers.
I was in tears as well. Hearing your warm voice, praying from the depths of your heart, for all of us... I cannot express how much that means to me.
I hope it's okay for a man to make challah, because I did today. I have a life goal: “to become famous with my grandkids.” I have 5. So I thought we could return to Shabbat. My mom was Sephardic, but we did not celebrate Shabbat. I feel it's time. The bread is braided and rising. I'm glad I figured out how to play TH-cam at 25% speed to figure out the braid. I love Challah. Oh, yes I did pray at the start for all to go well. Here’s hoping!
Sara I would love it if one day you would do a video on how you stay so positive. Your life is so busy, and yet you seem to have such a joy in your heart. I would love to hear more abut that someday as its something I struggle with. G.od bless you!
That would be my pleasure !
@@frumitup Thank you, Sara!
As a retired professional baker I think this video is one of the best I've seen so far. I love kneading by hand because the feel of the dough, once it is being worked, tells you how good it will turn out to be.
Awwww @deniseeulert2503 thank you soooooo much for your kind words: you made my day xoxoxo
Sara Malka - I started making your challah recipe a year ago and it always comes out fluffy and delicious -- I've said goodbye to dense challah forever. Wishing you. and your family a gmar chatima tova. I love challah!
When I come home from work I need to wash the day away before I get into comfortable clothes. I am going to try this recipe, it looks delicious. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I love Challah ❤
My favorite aspect was the hope for the future.
You are so special to connect with that part: may G.od bless you my sweet Bridget
Thank you for this video. Again it was fun to watch and so educational.
Today, I braided a bracelet for my grandson. Suddenly, I am thinking: Oh my, I am not singing, but I am sure using the same words as the daughter of
Mrs. From it up!
I talked to myself until the bracelet was done!
It helped me. Please, let your daughter know!
I have never before braided with more than 3 strings, be it yarn or dough!
Shalom Sara(h) I'm not sure of the spelling, i love the name! I just found your channel and I love the heart and soul you put into everything you do. We are working on doing this way of life. Your life is beautiful and I am excited and thankful for your teaching through sharing your experiences. A true Proverbs 31 woman. Bless you and your family ❤❤❤ we all are in need of learning and growing in the ways of our faith. You are an inspiration and I could smell my mom's bread as you broke the roll open. Yummy!! I could smell her baking bread for 2 blocks when getting off the school bus when I was young. I also love the prayers over everything. What a beautiful way of doing everything. How awe inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Blessings to you and yours and Shabbat Shalom!! ❤❤
I am so happy you are here Kelly ❤️❤️❤️
We love challah! Thank you for your lovely blessings! Shalom🇮🇱
I love Challah. This was soo peaceful. I actually went to numbers as I never read about the bread command. It was reflective and showed how much we don't do because we don't study the bible for ourselves.
The part of the process i liked was rolling the strands in the sesame seeds! I love challah 💫🙌
Watched a video on how water molecules realign into more beautiful shapes after praying over the water. I pray over my water, before filling my coffee pot, drinking a glass, etc. I will add more prayers to my cooking as you do as it is beautiful & worshipful🙏
Christians never speak of the Holy Feminine, much to our loss. Your loaves are lovely. There is nothing more comforting than the smell of good food cooking, and very few tasks more holy than preparing that food. Blessing be on you and yours.
You never cease to amaze me! I wish I lived next door to you so you could help me bake challah. 😁
Any time
I love Challah and I loved this video and presentation. I am an Italian-Catholic and have always respected the Jewish faith. Your prayers and Bible verses have touched me deeply. I am truly indebted to you. May the good Lord bless you and guide your mind, heart and hands in all that you do.
I'm totally agnostic but I absolutely love the prayer and thought that goes into making the Challah. I love to cook and bake. My kids will ask me why something tastes so yummy and I always tell them its because its made with love and its my secret ingredient! My middle child loves Challah and your video has reminded me to make some for him soon. Sending you a barróg agus póg (hug and kiss)from Ireland 💚🇮🇪
I'm Episcopalian, when I met my future in-laws at Thanksgiving, a month before our wedding, I brought a homemade Challah to break with my soon to be family. It was still warm when I arrived after an eight hour drive. My soon to be MIL was so impressed. It is a beautiful loaf of bread made more lovely with the prayers.
Chazaka baruch shalom alechem
Hi Sarah, I ❤challah! What struck me as most beautiful was how you said a prayer after each ingredient was added. I think that is so special and elevates the challah to something more meaningful. You have given me much food for thought, as usual. x
You are so welcome! you are so sweet and your words really touched my heart xoxoxo
I am not a religious woman, but found your video very moving. So much more than a mere recipe.
I love CHALLAH!
Im making challah right along with with inshallah it turns out as great as yours! I'm not jewish but muslim I think this would be great for our Friday dinners it's like our sabbath too!
My family is a proper mix, Irish Catholic, Jewish grandfather, Muslim partner ( sadly passed ) We celebrated everything.... and for the Turkish side of the family bread is very important. These recipes are very familiar to me and the challah bread is so like the sharing ramadan bread we had for various celebrations .... We all have more in common so should not be warmongering.... politicians have a lot to answer for.... It's not religion that's the problem, it's the male dominated ego's ...
I did it. O my goodness 😮🎉 Your instructions were amazing. I do not like to bake and that’s putting it mildly. However, I was so inspired by how easy you made it for people such as myself. Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can. I’ll be sharing it at our synagogue this week, God willing.
Thank you so much. I am going to try this for tomorrow Shabbat night:) ❤
I have been having a calling from God to convert to Judaism and your videos are so helpful.

Thank you for this today. I am on a path of disentagling my faith after terrible situation. The knowledge that I can pray and focus on G while cooking and doing the mundane brings me so much peace
My Challah turned out beautifully...on my first try because you are a patient teacher. What excited me most is that FINALLY another woman is using a mixer like mine. I've been baking bread with my Bosch Magic Mixer since 1977. Now, however, I am no longer a new mother, but a great-grandmother with three sons, nine grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. My boys came home from school to the smell of baking bread (bringing their friends of course), all made in my precious Bosch Mixer. The amazing smell of baking bread fulfilled not only the hunger of their bodies, but their hunger for tradition, family, and love for one another. I loved giving the gift of those memories to my sons.
Making a beautiful Challah was something I always dreamed of being able to do, but I was too intimidated to try...after all Challah is above and beyond bread as you taught in this video. I cannot thank you enough for the loving Challah lesson, with the mixer that has sustained my family for over fifty years, and your blessing at the end of the video that brings peace to my heart and tears to my eyes...I so yearn for the days when my children were tiny and as close as the kitchen table instead of spread out over Canada and the U.S. leaving me alone. Your blessing is so needed and appreciated. Thank you beyond words.
That mixer looks AMAZING!
Thank you & Adonai for making this video. I have been challah challenged in my attempts to get my challah light & fluffy. It tastes fine, like any freshly baked bread, but the texture has always come out wrong. Yours is the best video I've seen on baking challah. You have given me incentive to get it right next time I bake for Shabbat. Blessings be upon you & yours this day & always.
I love bread making.
It’s something that makes me feel connected to all the women who come before me, knowing they would make bread the same way I can make it today.
I feel the same when I knit (even though knitting is a much newer process than making bread.)
Thank you for this video! My partner was raised Jewish and they're not practicing and more secular now, but they do miss the food. I've been meaning to make them challah and this video is so thorough that i intend to revisit it until i can make it all on my own. I hope you have a wonderful day!
I am so happy you can help them reconnect with their roots ! Stay safe and blessed Seraphina
@@frumitup oh i do try! They have as much a right to their traditions as anyone else, and so much of this world seems to expect everyone to be christian with little acommodation for those who aren't. I figure if I can make life a little nicer at the cost of a few hours out of my day, there's no reason not to. And if i'm being completely honest, having fresh bread in the house is as good a motivation as any ^-^
Yes I change after work. Even though I work from home I dress for work daily so I feel focused and driven for a great work day.
I have enjoyed watching you while I recover from major back surgery. You remind that I’m not alone in this world!
Ohhhh sweetie may you have a complete and speedy recovery
Welcome back from northern Michigan 😊
I love CHALLAH! What a joy to discover your videos today. Blessings on you your family all your viewers and all Israel as we enter the new year may it be one of peace, health, prosperity, and love for all humanity
challah bread is very popular in my country Poland and kugel as well and many more Jewish food . Love challah with jam.
You are an amazing woman iam new jewish and iam learning so much from u
Your constant praying is such a comfort to me. It reminds me to be more prayerful and fills me with peace. I love your videos.
God bless you and your family!
Ooooo, YUM! Sara & wonderful, amazing Frummies... I cannot wait to watch this & see you ALL today! Huge, huge hugs to everyone who wants or needs one. 😊
❤
thank you sweetie! Just to make you laugh: we have 21 thumbs up thank G.od and we already have all the negative people who without even seeing the video disliked the video so we are at a 95,5% approval rate!! ahhhh what can we do :) see you soon sweetie :) and thank you to be so AMAZING!
Good morning and hugs to you Abigail! 🥰
@@frumitup Hi there, so they're already "disliking" it, LOL! Now, that's funny! I'll be monitoring, moderating and taking note! 🧐🤭💞
@@Shoshi2048 they absolutely love trolling!
@@frumitup Good morning and hugs to you Sara! 🥰
Dear Sara, how beautiful and inspirational this 'baking Challah bread' video was. I never imagined how much you can bring the mundane close to the divine. I love your Jewish spirituality. So much to learn! Thank you so much for sharing your light with the rest of us.
God richly bless! 🌟💜🌟
Thank you my sweet friend ❤️❤️
May G.od bless and protect you and your family
I love that you incorporate so many beautiful prayers, they're like poetry!
I'm having a bad chronic pain day today and this video popping up helped me to feel so much less alone. Thank you for doing what you do. You're my Challah, too!
I've watched videos of others making challah, but you explained the entire process - including the most important part - the prayers. Thank you so much for such a beautiful video. May you be blessed.
Thank YOU for being here with an open heart ❤️
u a busy mom, and a doctor, u vlogs are always informative, thanks for taking your times to vlog, we appreciate it
I love Challah! Though I am not Jewish, I had the honor of making it for the bat mitzvahs of the daughters of close family friends. I love the thoughts and prayers you shared in your process. Although I don’t have that knowledge or tradition, baking bread, especially for the special occasions for my friends, is still a process in which I put love and goodwill into it for all who will be nourished, as we should do with all the food we prepare.
Challah has to be the most beautiful bread I have ever seen.
I absolutely love the holy teaches that touches my heart ♥️
I love challah! My favorite parts are the braiding and the prayers to G-od throughout. Blessings of joy.
Christian here from Philippines we love Jews ❤❤❤❤ Thank you 🌹🌹🌹🌹
A sobering fact is that the Holocaust would not have occurred if not for a Christianity. 26 of the 27 books in the New Testament are anti-Semitic. A glowing example is from John chapter 8 verse 44. All of the early church fathers were vehemenly anti-Semitic. John Calvin was instrumental in having Michael Servetus burned alive at the stake in 1553 for rejecting the Trinity and other theological issues. Plus, they even made this method of execution more horrific by using slow burning green wood. John Calvin would have made a fabulous SS officer for Nazi Germany.
I love challah! My favorite part is the prayer time!💙🙏
aww me too Karen! stay safe and blessed sweetie
I Love Challah. Sara thank You these changes the meaning of baking bread, I do pray when making bread but today I understood the real meaning🤍
Shabbat Shalom ✡
Very nicely made. A change in perspective for me. Thank you.
I loved the explanations of the spiritual meanings of every part of the process of making the challah. I’ll definitely watch this again because these understandings can benefit me as a Christian.
Thank you for making our shabbat nice tonight ❤ this is the challah I have been looking for!
I love challa
Good morning everyone! Looking forward to another of Sara's fabulous videos today! If you want amazing challah, you're at the right place! 💖💗💖
Good morning! YOu are THE BEST!
Sara, I love it when you remind us to pray particularly when we are doing simple, ordinary daily tasks. Your videos have helped me to have more prayer throughout my days. Thank you.
Hi from the UK, looking forward to seeing your video sara , you are a lovely lady with a beautiful soul , you always cheer me up thank you x ❤
thank you so much Caroline :)
I ask prayers for my family. Thank you so much for sharing. I’m praying for you and your family as well . ❤❤❤ Blessed day!
Thank you Dr. Sara for taking the time to do these videos . Its so informative , well put together and I love your wisdom . It's so refreshing to see a pious professional woman cook, bake , take care of her home and children and always putting God first. It's just so beautiful!
I love your content! Beautifully done!
Shabbat Shalom! Beautiful recipe! I love Challah!
as most in the comments, i’m not orthodox, but the intention, time, love, & faith incorporated into this recipe moved me emotionally. intention is very important in my personal spiritual beliefs, and i can feel the positive energy radiating out of this video & challah bread. i love the idea of women being able to bring good energy & faith out from the earth while baking. thank you for always sharing your life & journey with us, dr sara.
Your comment moved me to tears / you are the reason I do these videos sweet friend
May G.od bless your path with light and closeness to H.im xoxoxo
What a blessing you are for sharing this with us - thank you. 🤍. My favorite parts are the prayers and blessings as you go. Bread making and baking is something I don't do often because there are so many steps and I want to do it well. But having every part of the process have a special prayer or blessing or scripture made this a spiritual journey.
I always want those who eat my food to enjoy it, and I'm always thankful for God's provision, but this is something completely different and I can't thank you enough. WE are blessed to have YOU here on TH-cam. 🙏🕊️🤍
BTW: I love Challah 😊
awww thank you sweetie! i think the blessings can be tasted in the food too!
xoxox stay safe and blessed my friend!
Shalom
Shabbat Shalom “I Live Challah & your videos, Blessings sending blessings & Happy Hanukkah ❤💕
You are a wonderful teacher and spiritual model. Your example has helped in my life and relationship with God. Thank you for including us in your prayers.❤❤😊
Love you, I’ve missed your lovely spirit, voice and wisdom. Thank you for being you.blessings to you and yours ❤❤❤
I am baking my first ever Challah right now becausae of you. I messed up a couple of things while making it but hopefully it will still taste good :D
Yipppppeeeee! I am so happy for you and proud of you for trying!
I am sure it will be great because you made it with love and intention🥰🥰
Shana Tovah. Making my very first challah today. Thank you for your beautiful video & all of your love. I love you! I love challah!!!
I've made Challah bread a couple of times. I'm glad you've explained in detail the different steps even with the prayers
I definitely love Challah!
Sara, not only is this a fantastic step-by-step guide to making Challah, it is made with such love and care (as are all your videos) I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and energy to post videos in addition to everything else you have going on in your life. You are a blessing not only to your family and your patients, but to your viewers as well. May God continue to bless you and protect you and your family. 💖💖💖💖
I’m Moroccan British-born and love challah from my Jewish friends ♥️
From London
I love challah! I am a Christian who loves Israel.
The song for braiding was cute. I wish I knew that song when my daughter was little.
I LOVE CHALLAH. Your prayers during the creation process are so touching. I have a Jewish butcher/ restaurant by my home that serves delicious challah French toast but I'm going to try and make the bread myself with reverence. Thank you again for a beautiful video.
I'm bookmarking this video so when it gets cooler here in South Florida, I will give it a go. Thank you for sharing. :)
Hope you enjoy it Tami !
Thank you for sharing
Oh, thank you for adding me into your prayers. Thank you so very much.
You are so welcome
Beautiful❤
I really do love challah. It's so light and soft. And delicious especially wth honey butter!
I’m always inspired by the beauty, joy, love and spirit of G-d that you bring to every task. Considering that you balance homemaking with a demanding profession is incredible. The Almighty blessed you with extraordinary gifts!💞
There is something satisfying about making yeast breads: the warm, yeasty smell, the feel of the dough and the yummy golden-brown bread when it comes out of the overn.
Not the video to watch if you’re trying to stay away from carbs ! I wanted to reach through the screen and grab a hunk of that challah! It looks delicious. Thank you, Sarah !
It’s moments like this that it’s both a good thing and a bad thing that Smell-O-Vision hasn’t been invented yet!
I love challa and I absolutely loved this video! Thank you Sarah x
Dear Sara, how many lovely memories you have brought forth watching you make challah! My Mother was an excellent bread baker. As I watched your hands dance across the dough, I was reminded of how much love my Mother put into all her baking. She always shared the bread she made with others: to the church bake sales, to our family at all the holiday meals, to the neighbors, and to me after I was married as a reminder that I was special to her. Unfortunately, Mama never shared her skill at baking her own bread with anyone. Watching you show step by step bread making with not only a practical side, but a prayerful side makes me wonder if I could do so as well. I love challah, and I love watching your videos my friend. May G.od bless you today and always.
This was the most beautiful way to not only show how to make something but to incorporate the very actions to our own lives!!! I will be using this as a tutorial for my babes.
I love challah! My favorite part is that you pray for your friends and family throughout the process. I'm a knitter and I do the same thing as I knit gifts for my friends and family. I feel like they can feel my love as they wear my knitted items!
That is such a beautiful and meaningful way to knit for your friends!
I love challah! Sara, I can't wait to try your recipe. A couple of things:
1. Your work clothes in this video looked both beautiful and comfortable!
2. My late Mom had absolutely NO luck with making anything with yeast.😊 She made great quick breads, but yeasted breads of any kind something would go seriously wrong. She could laugh about it though, so it made her quick breads even more delicious!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful and joyous week!
Prayers are the blessings of this beautiful process to make this wonderful Challah! I love Challah! ❤
