The braided shape of the challah resembles the strand of DNA, which is transmitted from parents to children. Challah is the Jewish DNA, where the characteristics and histories of my family is found. In this work, I wanted to represent challot that intertwine and unite with each other as the different generations of my family, who kept their Jewish faith intact despite so many years of prohibition and persecution, and who managed to make their essence reach the depths of me.
