Can a braid hold the history of a community?

Challah is more than Friday night dinner — it’s an iconic piece of living history. ChallahFest reimagines this Jewish symbol through photography, design, live music, migration stories, and rooftop gatherings across bakeries, museums, and campuses worldwide. Think you know challah?

Think again.
