Хала is a traditional Jewish bread, often braided and typically enjoyed during the Sabbath and Jewish holidays. It is made from simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, sugar, and eggs, giving it a rich, slightly sweet flavor. The braiding symbolizes unity and the intertwining of life. The bread is usually baked until golden brown and can be topped with sesame or poppy seeds. In addition to its religious significance, Хала is often served at festive meals, making it a beloved staple in Jewish cuisine. It is also associated with the Shabbat and Rosh Hashanah celebrations.
