The evening began with a creative candle lighting project, where participants crafted personalized crystal candlesticks. These beautiful creations, along with custom-made acrylic hadlakas neiros, served as cherished keepsakes for each family.
Led by Mrs. Aminov, the Challah Bake itself was a spiritual and uplifting experience. Participants delved into the significance of each ingredient, lit candles, and davened together. The atmosphere was filled with joy and camaraderie as attendees mixed dough to the rhythm of uplifting music.
The event was a resounding success, drawing over 200 attendees, including 91 mothers and their daughters. The beautifully decorated venue, adorned in black and hot pink, created a festive ambiance. Each participant received a custom Challah Bake apron, adding to the sense of unity and shared purpose.
