Description
Long ago, in the faraway city of Tripoli, mothers and daughters woke up every Friday before the doves sang their morning prayers.?
They baked fresh challahs to celebrate the Sabbath. And they had one special tradition: as they baked, they sang prayers, kneading in notes of hope and their deepest wishes. But there's only one communal oven! What happens to those prayers when everyone's challahs get mixed up? What will become of each family's wishes?
Fortunately, an imaginative girl named Misah comes up with a beautiful solution for everyone!

Rinat Hadad Siegel traces her roots to the Garyan region in the mountains of Libya. Her grandmother lived in Tripoli before moving to Israel, where Rinat was born. Mixed-Up Challahs draws from the rich and vibrant traditions of Mizrahi Jewry and family lore. She has occasionally mixed up chocolate-chip challah with raisin challah, much to the dismay of her children. Rinat lives in Southern California.
