Here are some snapshots of the classes (photo by Peter A. and Tony W.) :

Chocolate and Walnut Babka 猶太麵包



" Take the finest flour and bake twelve loaves of bread, using two-tenths of an ephah for each loaf. Arrange them in two stacks, six in each stack, on the table of pure gold before the Lord. By each stack put some pure incense as a memorial portion to represent the bread and to be a food offering presented to the Lord. This bread is to be set out before the Lord regularly, Sabbath after Sabbath, on behalf of the Israelites, as a lasting covenant"         Leviticus 24:5-8

「你要取細麵烤成十二個餅,每一個餅用兩公斤細麵。 你要把餅擺列成兩排,每排六個,放在耶和華面前精金的桌子上; 把純乳香放在每排餅上,象徵這些餅作獻給耶和華的火祭。 每一個安息日,亞倫都要把餅擺在耶和華面前,不可間斷,這是以色列人永遠的約」      利未記 24:5-8
