I was looking for a list of all the places that were recommended to get good challah bread. Do you recall any of the places that were mentioned? (referring to Rabbi Rachel Joseph’s class on 2/6/20, “Shabbat: A Cathedral in Time”)
Response:
Hi, Amy,
Rabbi Joseph mentioned “Baker and Spice” in Hillsdale. They strongly encourage you to pre-order your challah, as it sells out quickly. Place your order with a credit card over the phone at (503) 244-7573. For Friday pickup, place your order BEFORE 6pm on Thursday.
Other places to get challah include the bakeries at Safeway on SW Barbur Blvd and Grand Central Bakery on SW Multnomah Blvd and the Cedar Mill location.
Fred Meyer carries challah at these locations: Burlingame, Stadium (downtown), Hawthorne, and Hollywood.
Others have suggested Market of Choice, New Cascadia Traditional (GF), New Seasons and The Challahman.
I hope this helps!
