Summary: Really enjoyed the experience. The host was gracious and eloquent. I appreciated learning about the challah tradition- it was interesting and informative. My friends and I had a lot of fun as we made our own challah, the full hands-on experience working with the dough. The bread tasted delicious! Would love to do it again!
