More than 70 mothers, children, grannies, aunts, and members of the Union of Jewish Women (UJW) recently gathered at the Theodor Herzl School Hall in Port Elizabeth for a challah bake.

The group was led by Robyn Smookler, who went down from Joburg for the event. The excitement of mixing and stirring was palpable as the kids in particular got stuck into the process.
In celebration of Mitzvah Day in November, attendees were also asked to contribute to the UJW’s appeal for firefighters and their families in the greater Port Elizabeth area in the form of bottled water, lip ice, clothing, and dry goods.
Each baker went home with prepared dough and a recipe, an apron, a money tin for home chesed (kindness), and a whole lot of happy memories and learning.
