Women's Schlissel (Key) Challah Bake - חלת מפתח
There is an old and established custom that on the first Shabbos after Pesach we shape a challah into the form of a key or stick a real key inside a regular challah, because this was the Shabbos when the Manna, the miraculous food Hashem air-mailed to our forefathers throughout their desert wanderings, ceased to fall.
This change indicated that the Children of Israel had entered a new reality. The key symbolizes this. It is a Jewish mystical teaching that Hashem's goodies are locked up and our prayers are the "keys" to opening His storehouse. The act of making Schlissel Challah is in and of itself regarded as a way to draw down the Heavenly blessing of Parnossa or sustenance.
Join us for the meaningful mitzvah of baking challah and participating in this special custom. Let's come together to experience the beauty and spirituality of this tradition!
