depicting an aspect of the week’s Torah portion.

A man’s garment will not be on a woman, and a man will not wear woman’s dress. (Deuteronomy 22:5)

לא-יִהְיֶה כְלִי-גֶבֶר עַל-אִשָּׁה, וְלא-יִלְבַּשׁ גֶּבֶר שִׂמְלַת אִשָּׁה

The torah warns against it, but I couldn’t help but cross-dress these man and woman challahs…as you can see, the challah with the breasts is wearing a tie.
