(Ha'aretz) Nir Hasson - During the month of Ramadan, demand for special breads soars, east Jerusalem Arab bakery owners say, especially for braided challahs called "mijdal." The word means braided bread in Arabic, but observers will find it very difficult to discern any difference between this bread and the traditional Jewish challah sold on Fridays in every supermarket and bakery in Israel.
