Derbyshire may now have a growing Jewish community, but challah remains hard to come by—so Julia decided to bake her own. When others shared their challah troubles, she offered to teach them, and a community event was born. With ovens fired up at Grassmoor Community Centre, nine bakers gathered for a joyful afternoon of kneading, singing, learning, and laughter. This is the power of challah—and of coming together.
