CAN DO KID Baking for A Cause: A Love for Baking Challahs Turns into so Much More for Local 13-Year-Old

BY JOHN DUKA family and friends often remarked how tasty her P rior to the pandemic, 13-year old Yael Schwartzman was a pretty typical kid. She enjoyed being on the cheer squad, dancing, singing, and spending time with her friends. She also loved the special time she would spend with her mother Andrea. Each Friday afternoon, they baked home-made challahs for their family. Yael’s challah was. Challah is a special bread in Jewish cuisine. It is usually braided and typically eaten on Jewish holidays and on the Shabbat, Judaism’s day of rest on the seventh day of the week—i.e., Saturday. Unfortunately for Yael, the COVID-19 lockdown kept her from cheerleading and took her away from her friends. With less to do outside the home, she decided to bake more often and began offering her challahs to neighbors on the Nextdoor app. Word on Yael’s challah spread like wildfire. In fact, she is baking every single day now and sometimes enlists her brother and parents to help when orders get backed up. Every batch takes her about two hours from start to finish. “I use the recipe my mom passed on to me,” commented Yael, “The dough is pretty basic, but I’m always trying to find new flavors to add to it.” Yael isn’t just running her newfound baking business, she is also giving back, “I donate a percentage of my sales to St. Jude Hospital.” If you are hankering for some yummy bread, be sure to reach out to the area’s newest baking superstar.
