Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, translates in Hebrew to “Head of the Year”. This joyous event will begin the evening of September 22nd and conclude at sundown on September 24th. In preparation for Rosh Hashanah, our stores will have fresh-baked round challah from Woodside Bakery, a local favorite of the Bay Area. Woodside Bakery is a traditional European-style “scratch” bakery that prepares everything in-house using the highest quality ingredients available. Their passion and love for baking go into everything they make, including their famous challah bread. The circular shape of challah bread symbolizes the hope that the New Year will be filled with many blessings. Along with their famous challah, Woodside Bakery specially bakes a variety of other goods and delivers them to our Portola Valley and San Carlos stores. Stop into our bakery to pick up a freshly baked round challah for your Rosh Hashanah celebration.
