Jewish Festive Foods

Selwyn Community Education is based at Selwyn College, Kohimarama, Auckland.

Tutor: Shelly Tenembaum

The Challah bread is the traditional Jewish bread eaten on the Friday night and Sabbath. It is a symbol of the manna that fell from the heavens to feed the Israelites when they were in the desert for 40 years after their Exodus from Egypt.

You will learn about the different shapes of challah that symbolise different occasions according to the Jewish holidays. While the breads are baking, we’ll make authentic Jewish salads and Gehakte Leber, a rich creamy Eastern European paté, and learn about the significant Jewish feasts and celebrations.

Course fee includes ingredients.
