Monday January 27, 2025 at 8pm ET when the FJMC Cooking Affinity Group will present "Challah Baking with Allan Kahan".

Impress your family and friends while celebrating your Jewish identity.  Learn how to bake (and braid) challah. We’ll learn how to make a DELICIOUS challah (easy to use one egg recipe, which was accepted as ‘best’ by a professional baker), kneading either by machine or hand, and learn how to do a simple three-strand braid, or for a ‘fancy’ presentation, do a smaller three-strand braid on top of a larger braid.  You’ll be taught by Past International President, Allan Kahan, who has been making, baking (and consuming) these delicious challahs since the mid-1970’s, when he was in law school.
