Recently, I receieved the news that a fellow staff member, from the seminary in which I learned in, is terribly sick, with cancer. I was so shocked by this news of him being sick. I just remembered him being so healthy.

A different staff member in our school started something called the Challah Project, which tries to get as many people as possible to bake Challah in the merit of his getting better and healthy. Baking Challah is said to have the best segulah for people who are sick to get better.

I had never made challah ever in my life, but I decided that now would be a good time to take it upon myself to start making every weeked. 2 weekends ago, my roommate and I baked challah and it was delicious! This past weekend, we made again, with a different recipe, and they came out great! We made regular challah, cinnamon and sugar challah and sweet challah.

It is so nice to be able to do something that many people can benefit from, while still doing it for a good reason.

I hope and pray that the 'luck' of making challah will lead us to good news in the future of his health and well being.
