New York City- In what can only be described as a completely normal and reasonable endeavor, a Jewish congregation in New York has teamed up with a Brooklyn bakery to attempt to break a Guinness World Record with a 35-foot, 2-inch Challah bread. Yes, you read that right – a bread record.
Now, some may ask, why on earth would anyone bother attempting such a feat? Well, we’re sure there are plenty of good reasons, but we’re really struggling to think of any. Perhaps it’s to show off the incredible yeast they used? Or to demonstrate how long it takes to braid 35 feet of dough? The world may never know.
As ridiculous as this endeavor may seem, the congregation and bakery seem to be taking it very seriously. They’ve spent months planning and preparing for this bread-breaking moment, which will happen this Sunday in the heart of Brooklyn.
The challah bread, for those not in the know, is a traditional Jewish bread that is typically braided and eaten on the Sabbath and other holidays. It is also apparently very good for breaking records, if you’re into that sort of thing.
While we’re not quite sure what the current challah bread record is (or if there even is one), we wish these brave bakers all the best in their quest for bread-related glory. We can only imagine how hard it must be to knead and braid dough for 35 feet and 2 inches. We’re getting tired just thinking about it.
Of course, it’s not just about breaking a record for the sake of it. The congregation and bakery are hoping to use this stunt to raise awareness and funds for local charities. Which is all well and good, but we’re still not sure why they couldn’t just do a bake sale or something. No need to go breaking any bread records.
But hey, who are we to judge? If they want to spend their time and resources on this bread endeavor, who are we to stop them? Maybe it will inspire other communities to attempt their own weird world records. We can’t wait for the giant matzah ball or the world’s largest babka.
In conclusion, we wish the congregation and bakery the best of luck in their bread-breaking adventure. Let’s hope they don’t go too loaf to loaf with the competition. And if they don’t break the record? Well, there’s always next year. We’ll be sure to bring the butter.
