Symbols of Community and Warmth

Volunteers working on the "Shabbat Guest" initiative continue their important work.

Thanks to the volunteers of the Zaporizhzhia center, the "Shabbat Guest" project keeps delighting its beneficiaries with delicious and fragrant traditional challahs. The volunteers regularly gather to bake soft, fresh bread, which is an integral part of important Jewish traditions and always graces the Shabbat table.

During each of these gatherings, the center is filled with the enchanting aroma of fresh baking. The challahs are made using traditional recipes passed down from generation to generation, which perhaps is why they have such an incredible taste noted by the participants of our project. The volunteers meticulously ensure the quality of the challahs at every stage of preparation, gladly sharing not only impeccable taste but also a piece of their hearts with their beneficiaries.

The freshly baked challahs are regularly delivered to the center’s beneficiaries, enabling them to celebrate Shabbat in strict accordance with traditions. Taking a central place on the festive table, challah symbolizes our unity and support. Thanks to the volunteers' care, less mobile community members can celebrate the holiday surrounded by friends and like-minded individuals.

The volunteers also hold meetings where they share secrets of preparing traditional Jewish dishes, aiming to preserve this part of cultural heritage and pass it on to the next generation. New recipes often come to life in the center's kitchen, and the volunteers are happy to share the fruits of their labor.

We thank the volunteers for their active participation in the project! You not only prepare delicious baked goods but also help maintain important traditions and foster a spirit of community and unity, which are essential for any society's existence!
