        • Your Gift Makes an Impact.

          There is no investment more important and meaningful than the investment in our community’s children.

          Meyer Prep’s exceptional program is only possible with support from our local community donors. Like most independent schools, Meyer Prep relies on financial support to deliver an outstanding education to our students, as tuition covers only a percentage of the operating expenses of the school each year.  Thank you for your continuous support.

Challah Bake 2024

For this new year season, Meyer Prep students had the opportunity to participate in baking round challot. 

On Rosh Hashanah, round challah is traditionally eaten to symbolize several important themes of the Jewish New Year:

  • Cycle of the Year: The round shape represents the cyclical nature of time, emphasizing the completion of one year and the hope for a new, fulfilling one. The circle has no beginning or end, symbolizing continuity and eternity.
  • Wholeness and Unity: The round challah also reflects completeness and unity, reminding us to strive for peace and harmony in the coming year, both in our relationships and in our lives.
  • Crown of Hashem: The circular shape can also be seen as a crown, symbolizing Hashem’s kingship and sovereignty, which is a central theme of Rosh Hashanah as we recognize Him as King of the Universe.
  • Renewal and Life: Some associate the round challah with the circle of life and the prayer for renewal and blessings, as Rosh Hashanah marks a fresh start with the hope for a year filled with life, blessings, and peace.

Many round challahs are also sweetened with honey or raisins, adding to the symbolism of hoping for a sweet new year.
