challah

challah

In Judaism, traditional plaited bread used in the celebration of the Sabbath or a holy festival. It symbolizes the food for body and spirit provided by God. Two loaves are blessed, representing the double portion of manna that God provided on Fridays when the Hebrews were in the desert. Salt may be sprinkled on the bread to commemorate the Temple sacrifices that cannot be made any more, since the Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed in AD 70.
