Mazel tov to our community on Challah 180!!

In a historic gathering at the Asheville Country Club, 180+ women came together as one to knead, braid, and celebrate the beautiful mitzvah of Hafrashat Challah.

Presented by Chabad’s Jewish Women’s Circle—a cornerstone in building community and strengthening Jewish life in Western North Carolina—the evening celebrated 20 years of women rising together through friendship, meaningful learning, joyful gatherings, and genuine connection.

A heartfelt thank-you to the following ladies who helped make this unforgettable event possible:
Ali Alison Greenberg Schantz, Andi, Annie, Barbara, Chana, Cindy Cindy Smith, Deborah Deborah Bohan, Goldie Goldie Weizman, Ilene, Janise, Jennifer, Josefa, Judi Judi Berson-Levinson, Karen Karen Marcus Paly, Lisa F. Lisa Bresenoff Feierstein, Lisa M., Maia, Mati, Michele Michele Garashi-Ellick, Nadine, Natalie Natalie Shaw, Rhonda Rhonda Gottlieb Diamond, Sara, Sharon, Shoshana Katy Salomon, Stephanie, and Theresa Theresa Kaplan Case.

Challah 180 continued a proud Asheville legacy that began in September 2010 with Challah 100—one of the first five Mega Challah Bakes in the world, and a pioneering event that helped inspire hundreds of communities worldwide to host their own Mega Challah Bakes.

As Rosh Hashanah approaches, we are so proud to share these beautiful photographs from an extraordinary afternoon. L’Shana Tova to one and all!

What a beautiful way to close out summer!

It was wonderful to see friends and families of all ages enjoying delicious food, warm conversation, and the simple joy of being together, at the annual Chabad Summer Cookout.

From burgers, hot dogs, pargiyot, and kebabs fresh off the grill - thank you Grill-master Extraordinaire Matthew!, to homemade salads, fruit, and pastries, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Sunset wagon rides by Jonathan, the famous Monkey Tree Puzzle of Waynesville, and a special Bounce House and gifts from Osher and Lior; all added to the fun and memories.

A very special highlight was the silent auction featuring the beautiful work of artist Ora. Thank you Ora, and community bidders for your support of Chabad!

We were excited to share the second soft launch of Tastes of Jewish Asheville 2.0 (first printing in 2010 sold out 3 times already!), which we look forward to co-creating with members of our WNC community. Thank you Theresa and Lisa for your dedication, innovation, and commitment to this project.

A most special thank-you to Jonathan and Sandi for hosting the annual cookout, and to everyone who cooked, brought food, helped set up, served, sponsored, and cleaned up.

From the sound of the Shofar on the mountaintop, to the sound of the Shofar in Shul, it truly takes a community, and we are so grateful for ours!

🔥 Happy Lag B’Omer! 🔥

Great energy and good vibes all around… we enjoyed a kumzitz with the amazing Billy Jonas, celebrated the birthdays of two dear community members, welcomed visitors and returning snowbird congregants, watched the children play gleefully, enjoyed a delicious cookout with salads and sides, and shared blessings and good wishes on this auspicious day.

Thank you to Osher and Lior for helping cook with generous spirit and heart, to Cindy for the delicious brownies, to our amazing Grillmaster Gabriel, to the Chabad Security Team for their dedication to our safety, to Resa and Lisa for beautiful flowers, and to everyone who contributed. A special thank you to Stacy, Theresa, and Lani for capturing these beautiful photos!

Grateful for a beautiful community. You all turned an ordinary Tuesday into a memorable Lag B’Omer celebration 💙

This past week, thousands of Chabad Rebbetzins from around the world gathered for the annual Women’s Convention. Representing communities from every corner of the globe, it was an honor to sit among some of the most special women in the world.

We came with one heart, carrying one shared mission: to bring kindness, warmth, inclusion, connection, community, and Yiddishkeit to our corner of this earth. We listened, learned, and shared, with lots of honesty, laughter and tears. We explored new ideas, new tools, and the “latest and greatest” materials, including the awesome pushka we used today at Torah & Tea — coins readily available, wow!

We celebrated Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneersohn, whose dignity, quiet strength, wisdom, and caring continue to inspire our daily work. We stood together in prayer at her gravesite on the occasion of her Yahrtzeit, feeling both the weight and the privilege of this sacred responsibility.

Last Shabbat we looked forward to being in NY, and this one we are looking forward to being in Asheville with our dear community. Candle lighting tomorrow in the WNC area is at 5:52 PM. May our collective light ignite the darkness of night!

Shabbat Shalom to one and all 🤍 🤍🤍

As we head tonight into 2026, we find ourselves thinking less about resolutions and more about the basics.

At the CHS Family Chanukah party, surrounded by children, candles, music, games, laughter, songs, and homecooked dinner, the message was crystal clear…

Basics is always Best!

👇Sharing photos of 26 moments.

Not of resolutions — but of foundations!

Because from these foundations of back to the basics, we are poised to move forward into a year of success.

🥳 Wishing our readers a happy and healthy 2026, filled with many moments of pride, purpose, joy, friendship, unity, and community!

💙 👛💅🏻This holiday has a feminine heartbeat, and we celebrated it at Torah and Tea, Chanukah Edition!

Over hot drinks, homemade latkes and donuts, and meaningful learning, we shaped our own light, literally rolling Chanukah candles to take home.

Unlike Shabbat candles which are lit while light outside, we spoke about the mitzvah of kindling the menorah which is done at nightfall. We reflected on the lesson that the moment darkness appears, that’s when precisely we answer with light.

A heartfelt thank you to Alison, Barbara, Dee, and Theresa for sponsoring and making it possible, and to all the ladies who added to the pushka and shared tzedakah for Bondi Beach, holding them close in our hearts.

Each woman received a menorah kit to “menorah it forward” - to expand the circle of light in our community.

Happy Chanukah from the Jewish Women’s Circle and Torah and Tea, WNC. Our ladies illuminate the night! 🕎

🕎 Happy Chanukah, day number 3 🕎

We've been obsessed with olives! 🫒 🫒

-- We harvested them.
-- We crushed them.
-- We pressed them.
-- We talked about them endlessly.

Because how else do you teach children that from something so small—and so squeezed—comes the purest of oil that can light up the darkest of nights?!

With air-dry clay, we built our menorahs from stones; resembling the very stones that the Maccabees had to climb over while searching the Holy Temple to find that 1 sealed jug of *pure oil* to light the Menorah. We then filled our DIY menorahs with tiny holy-temple artifacts; building an entire menorah around our history and heritage.

This is how miracles are made — one olive, one child, one choice, and a lot of squeezing, by one person, on a mission, to Create Light, one day at a time. 🕯️ 🫒 🕎 💡
