Join Manchester Jewish Museum for a hands-on baking workshop where you’ll learn how to knead and shape challah bread.

Discover the rich traditions behind this tasty egg-enriched loaf and its special connection to the Jewish day of rest. As your bread bakes, you’ll dive into some fascinating stories from the museum’s collection.

You’ll get to take your bread home with you, along with the recipe to make it for all your friends and family. Plus, there’ll be a variety of toppings and fillings for you to make your perfect loaf.

All children must be accompanied by an adult. Please email olivia@manchesterjewishmuseum.com with any dietary requirements.
