Challah (plural: challot/challos) is a braided bread that is eaten by many cultures. Also known as khale (eastern Yiddish German and western Yiddish) berches (Swabian) Zopf (Switzerland) barkis (Gothenburg) bergis (Stockholm) birkata (Judeo-Amharic) vianočka (Slovak) tsoureki (Greek) Çörek (Turkish) kalács (Hungarian) (although this means sweet bread with eggs and milk so the meaning is not identical with challah) chałka (Polish) colaci (Romanian) and kitke (South Africa).
