I Love the “How to braid a round challoh” video tutorial.
Our custom is not to make any knots or braiding when making round challos for Rosh Hashonah. However, I will be utilizing these techniques when making challos during the year.
Thank you for this wonderful website.

My challah came out so good. Thank you. So excited for Yom Tov. What was the song you were playing on repeat the whole time?
