Friday mornings are a busy time at Chabad’s Krafts for Kids Workshop in Margate, NJ. Each Friday at 9:45am long lines begin forming on the sidewalk of Ventnor Avenue as children and their families get ready to participate in one of the Jersey Shore’s well sought after traditions, baking challah with Chabad.
Chabad at the Shore, a Jewish Outreach organization opened the Crafts Shop as a service to the community to allow children to express their creativity while learning about the Jewish Heritage.
Workshops are led by Tova Rapoport, She demonstrates how to mix the raw ingredients to create traditional challah dough and then children get to roll and braid their own dough to create authentic looking and delicious tasting challah.
Along the way participants learn interesting facts about keeping kosher, observing the Sabbath and fascinating all around tidbits on Judaism. For many, baking challah is their first introduction to traditional Judaism.
Over the years, the activity has become so popular that vacationers call months in advance to ensure a spot during the busy weekends of August. This past summer alone over 1500 people participated in Chabad’s Challah Baking activities.
Tova Rapoport is available to bring the Challah Baking Workshop to your party of special event. For more information, please visitwww.chabadac.com or call 609-822-8500
