<description>&lt;p&gt;Join my close friend Gitty Layosh and I in the first of a three-part mini-series on the women&amp;apos;s mitzvot! First up: challah. We talk about the beauty of the mitzvah, the symbolism of each ingredient, how to do the mitzvah, ridding ourselves of guilt if we can&amp;apos;t make challah right now, and much more! We also discuss the connection between challah and the upcoming holiday of Rosh Hashana.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More on the mitzvah of challah: https://www.modernjewishgirl.com/post/challah-what-we-knead-to-know &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Gitty&amp;apos;s Challah Recipe: &lt;br/&gt;1 cup warm water &lt;br/&gt;3 tablespoon yeast&lt;br/&gt;Sprinkle of sugar&lt;br/&gt;Mix the yeast water and sugar and let bubble for a few minutes.  &lt;br/&gt;In another large bowl, mix:&lt;br/&gt;3 tablespoons of salt and 5 pounds of flour&lt;br/&gt;1/2 cup of sugar&lt;br/&gt;Mix&lt;br/&gt;1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil&lt;br/&gt;3 eggs&lt;br/&gt;Mix&lt;br/&gt;Pour in the yeast and add 4 cups warm water (2 cold and 2 hot)&lt;br/&gt;Knead the dough; fold press and turn &lt;br/&gt;Cover with two dish towels and let it rise for an hour/45 min&lt;br/&gt;Take the challah and make the blessing (see below)&lt;br/&gt;Bake at 325 when it starts to brown switch to 350- in total about 30 minutes&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href='https://www.chabad.org/theJewishWoman/article_cdo/aid/363331/jewish/6-Separating-Challah.htm'&gt;The Blessing on Separating Challah&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description>
