Challah (hallah)
(חלה) is also known as khale (East Yiddish), berches (Swabia), barkis
(Gothenburg), bergis (Stockholm), and kitke (South Africa) ), is a plaited
special bread that the Ashkenazi eat and a group of cephalons on the Sabbath
and holidays.
According to Jewish
tradition, the Sabbath meal and the holiday begin by blessing two loaves of
bread. This "pile of bread" (Jewish: lechem mishneh) is made to
commemorate the manna bread that fell from heaven as the Israelites walked in
the desert for forty years after the Exodus from Egypt. But the manna bread
does not fall during the Sabbath and the holidays; however, two loaves fell
during the Sabbath and holidays. This bread, recognizable from wicker, is
called challah.
