Challah

Today we are getting ready for our first Shabbat in Jerusalem. We cleaned up the apartment, set out our Shabbat outfits, and then went grocery shopping. We were warned that it gets extremely busy at all shops on Friday, so we decided to hit the grocery store early.

The grocery store was the busiest we have yet seen it, but I'm sure it will get busier as the day progresses. But what was just awesome was the supply of challot. There was heaps of it! In the U.S., Matt and I would often have to buy our challah on Thursday afternoons because the stores would run out of them by Friday morning. Here, there's more than the eye can see. They have them stacked near the bread, on racks, and in huge bins.

Yummy!
