Chalehs

/ˈxɑːləz/ or /ˈxɑːleɪz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of chaleh, referring to multiple loaves of traditional Jewish braided bread.

Etymology

Simple plural of 'chaleh' using the English '-s' suffix, though the word itself comes from Hebrew.

Kelly Says

In Jewish households, the plural 'chalehs' matters because the Sabbath tradition actually requires two loaves to commemorate the double portion of manna that fell in the desert—so you're never just making one.
