Every week we braid the challah... (sometimes there are 6 strands of dough for the 6 days) The braid is a creative expression as there are no natural braids in nature...

On Rosh Hashanah we have a round challah and it is made with a sweeter dough and often has rasins or fruit inside or candy on top... all in the tradition to symbolize a sweet year ahead.

The round challah is sometimes referred to as a turban or a crown for God as our ruler. The round shape also symbolizes a wish for a perfect year and the cycle of life and the year,
