More than 70 Jewish women joined together at the Randolph Community Center recently to perform a very special mitzva in memory of a very special lady – Linda Koval.

At the event, led by Rochie Pinson, author of “Rising – The Book of Challah,” participants learned how to create handmade challa — mixing, kneading and shaping their own traditional challah. They used the time to pray for family and friends as well as those who need a speedy recovery.

The purpose of this evening was to foster community, unity and sisterhood between all segments of the Jewish community. The event was organized by a two-sister team, Shlomit and Netanya Koval.
