BAKER Mark Lichtenstein has been busy preparing round challahs for Rosh Hashanah.

Round challahs are symbolic of the cycle of the year and are eaten from Rosh Hashanah until Simchat Torah.

Located on Carlisle Street in Balaclava, Lichtenstein has tripled his production of challahs for Rosh Hashanah compared to a regular Shabbat.

Based on his sales over the past seven Rosh Hashanahs, Lichetenstein said the sweetness of his sultana challah makes it one of the most popular choices for the holiday.

In addition to the plain and sultana challahs, Lichtenstein’s also bake wheat-free, spelt, dark rye and wholemeal challahs, as well as a water challah, which is free of egg and sugar.
