Spanning fifteen years in the lives of a multi-generational family and their neighbours, this remarkable collection draws an intimate portrait of a suburban Jewish community and illuminates the unexpected ways we remain connected during times of change.
The narrative beautifully illustrates a Jewish family's weekly ritual of making challah, emphasizing the themes of patience, faith, and togetherness. Through the tender actions of a mother and child as they prepare the dough, readers are invited to experience the warmth of family traditions and the anticipation of sharing their creation at a Shabbat gathering. Sidura Ludwig's poetic storytelling enriches this heartfelt portrayal of love and community.
