I'll bet you thought challah refers to the two braided loaves of bread reserved for Shabbat meals. It does. But mainly, challah is the small chunk of dough we tear off and burn before baking any challah recipe.

Originally, that dough was given to a kohen, a descendant of Aaron who served in the Temple. In Messianic times, we'll reinstate this practice. Meanwhile, we need to burn that challah before we can eat the bread from which it was taken.

Taking challah tells us that whatever we are given is not for our use alone. If we have wisdom, money or good health, our first step is to put them towards a G‑dly purpose.

Jewish women traditionally prefer baking their own challah for Shabbat Jewish women traditionally prefer baking their own challah for Shabbat over buying from a baker. It's a mitzvah, so why give it away? It's also a very feminine kind of mitzvah, nurturing the bodies and souls of the family and guests.
