I know I don't have many friends on here but I thought I would ask anyway. If you don't get to make Challah for Friday evening do you buy it? If so, are there alternatives if you can't get Challah? #sabbath #kiddush

I am not good at baking so i don't make it. So don't always have it.

I've never made my own (at least not yet!), and I don't eat eggs so I can't buy it due to the fact that all traditional challahs contain eggs (it's literally called "Jewish Egg Bread at our local grocery! lol). So I would often buy Tuscan bread instead (which is a personal favorite)…or use another type of egg-less bread. I've even used gluten-free matzahs and almond crackers before! lol But I'm quite new at kiddush, so I'm still trying to feel it out.

But remember, kiddush is only a Sabbath tradition and is not commanded to be eaten every Shabbat. Scripture just says "as often as you do this, do it in remembrance of me". But doesn't specify how often that should be. Some do it every Shabbat, while others will only do it once a year on Passover, and then there are those who do everything in-between!

So, I personally don't think the type of bread matters (unless it's during the Days of Unleavened Bread!), or think there even NEEDS to be bread presented every Sabbath. There are MANY brethren who can't eat bread for various reasons, and many other Sabbath keepers don't even do a traditional kiddush at all.

So I guess my final thought is: it's totally up to you! Make it, buy it, and if you can't do either of those, use another type of bread in it's place, or skip it altogether. Just remember "as often as you do this, do it in remembrance of [the Messiah]."

We make erev Shabbat special, sometimes with challah, sometimes with other sweet breads. I personally think that the traditional kiddush is different from the Passover meal since the "breaking bread in remembrance of Me" would have been unleavened. But honestly life is busy and we don't stop working until we can see the sun go behind the hills. And in summer that means we eat supper before Sabbath begins!

While I make Challah bread if I am able, I also will just buy French or Italian bread from the store if I am unable to bake bread. We have also welcomed in the Sabbath with wine and a piece of loaf bread. I don't think the Father cares which type of bread we use.
