About this item

With Rosh Chodesh (Jewish New Month) traditionally being a woman's holiday, it is a natural time for women to gather together and be active participants in their heritage. Members of a Spiritual Kneading group using this book will enhance their spiritual growth via the tradition of challah baking while meditating upon the Jewish theme of the month. Chatting, kneading, meditating and Torah study: women united in a wave of baking and braiding throughout the world. The Introduction of the book gives an extensive history of Rosh Chodesh and why it's traditionally been a woman's holiday. The connection between challah and Rosh Chodesh is further explained, as it's the first of the month, so too challah is the first portion of dough that must be donated to the Kohen's (Priests) .
