Free Challah.
136.
This number is ping-ponging around my brain.
136 friends, neighbors, sons, daughter, sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, children.
136 people who were kidnapped - and are still being held hostage.
I want them all back.
I believe what I do while I am here on this planet matters. I believe it matters here, and I believe it matters in the spiritual realm.
Physically I cannot get them back.
Spiritually? I can build achdus the way I know how. By sharing.
We're making a bunch of challah this week.
In honor of the hostages.
They should be returned safely.
All of them.
Eitan Avraham ben Efrat is a 21 year old young man who was trying to save people at the Nova Music Festival when he was injured and captured. That's who I am davening (praying) for specifically.
Please join me.
If you are able to braid challahs I need help on Wednesday at noon this week (we're looking for 10 volunteers - thank you so much to last week's volunteers who were speedy, kind and brought a great deal of good energy to the whole project).
Last week we gave out 188 challahs.
Dm or comment (comment and like this post for reach) if you want to pick up a challah to reserve it
If you can take 1 for yourself and then take more to share with people who could use a little bit of a challah "hug" - please do.
There are no qualifications for these challahs. Everyone can have. The rules:
1) They are free
2) 1 per household
3) you have to pick up (there are a few people on my list who want challah, but cannot pick up, if you are able to deliver 1 or 2 challahs, let me know).
The challahs this week are in honor of the hostages. May they all be returned quickly, safely, and whole.
