Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, translates in Hebrew to “Head of the Year”. Celebrations begin this Wednesday evening, 10/2, and ends at sundown on Friday, 10/4. Local bakery As Kneaded Bakery will be honoring the festive holiday by baking their famous round challah in three delicious varieties: plain, poppy, and raisin. They’re lightly crisp on the outside, soft and tender on the inside, with a touch of sweetness. The round shape of the Challah bread symbolizes the cyclical nature of the passage of time. Inspired by the long, rich history of breadmaking from her Jewish heritage, Iliana Berkowitz founded As Kneaded Bakery to share her passion of artisan quality baked goods with the Bay Area community. Find As Kneaded Bakery’s fresh baked round Challah in-store this Wednesday, October 2nd.
