This unique Challah Board was handcrafted in Annapolis, MD, from quality wood, a mix of Maple, Cherry, and Mahogany. The Hebrew words of Hamotzi (The blessing for the bread) are engraved on the board. In order to preserve the quality and beauty of the wood, it is finished with mineral oil and Candelilla Wax.

This Challah board is an excellent gift for weddings, Jewish holidays, anniversaries, housewarmings, or any occasion. 

Due to the nature of the wood, each board is unique and may have slight variations in color and grain from what is shown in the picture.

(Each item is handcrafted and will be ready in 10 days)

The size of the board is approximately 15.5” x 10” x 0.75”.

To clean the Challah board, wash it by hand with liquid soap, wipe it with a dry cloth and let it air-dry on its side. Periodically, recondition the board with mineral oil or cutting board oil. Do not submerge the board in water for a long time or place it in a dishwasher. Doing so will damage the board.

About the Artist:

Rafi Krigman is a retired engineer with a passion for woodcraft. He has a small wood shop in Annapolis, MD, where he spends time building Judaic wood craft items including, Challah boards, customized Chanukah Menorahs, and customized Purim noisemakers. He also makes children's toys and other personalized items commissioned by customers. Oh, and Rafi also happens to be Yael's father :-)

Made from scratch, our kosher challah is the perfect addition to your Shabbat dinner or any special occasion.  In the event you don't gobble it all down on the first day, turn it into Challah French Toast later!

We've done an embarrassing amount of taste-testing to make sure our challah is as good as it can possibly be.  We hope you love it as much as we do.

Choose from two sizes.  Regular size is a little less than a foot long.  Jumbo size challah is about 15 inches long and twice the overall size of a Regular challah.
