A recent Community Challah Bake drew neighbors from across the South Bay for an evening of tradition, connection and hands-on baking in celebration of Rosh Hashanah.
On Sept. 18, community members came together at the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center, powered by Jewish Silicon Valley for the sold-out event to mix, knead and braid challah as they celebrated Jewish joy and prepared for the Jewish New Year.
“This gathering embodied the spirit of our diverse community and highlighted how food can build bridges and friendships,” a JCC spokesperson said.

Tables were piled high with ingredients. And the air was filled with conversation and laughter, creating a welcoming space for people of all backgrounds to experience Jewish tradition through food in celebration of Rosh Hashanah, organizers said.

Even Los Gatos Mayor Matthew Hudes joined in on the fun.
