44 | SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | AUGUST 2021 |
Yiddish Culture Club
It's that time of year when the Yiddish
Culture Club holds its annual Challah
Bake! Save the date of Sat., Aug. 14 at
noon in the North Clubhouse. Challah
is a wonderful braided egg bread that
is served for every Friday night Sabbath
dinner as well as almost every Jewish
holiday. Not only will you learn how to
make this special bread, but you will
learn about its history. Each "baker" will
receive step by step instructions so you
can make your very own Challah, take it
home, and bake right in your oven. YCC will provide all the needed
ingredients and utensils that will be yours to take home as well! Even
those of you that never cook-Guys or Gals-YOU CAN DO THIS! You
haven't had French Toast until you have tried using Challah bread.
While the bread is rising and you are enjoying some refreshments,
Marilyn Forhane will enlighten us on food safety practices. You can
also learn how to store those leftovers for another day. So, leave your
rings at home… dress casual… and join the fun!
Deadline to register for this event is Aug. 9. Flyers with a
registration form are at the Main Clubhouse rack by the Receptionist
Desk. Checks are made payable to YCC. Members cost is $12 and
non-members will be $15.
The braided egg loaf called
challah today arose in southern
Germany in the 1400s, when local
Jews began to adopt the region's
braided loaves. Locals used these
braided breads for special occasions;
so a braided lean loaf, suggestive of
a special occasion, soon became the
most popular form of Ashkenazi
Sabbath bread.
