Season 14 of Drink It In is here — and we’re kicking it off Behind the Pages with a guest who embodies inspiration, tradition, and sparkle.

I sat down with Rebbetzin Rochie Pinson, author of The Rising Life: Challah Baking. Elevated., Rising: The Book of Challah, and The Kids Book of Challah.

From her roots in Vancouver to inspiring Jewish women around the world, Ruchi’s journey with challah is about so much more than baking — it’s about elevating life itself.

In this heartfelt and humorous conversation, we explore:

• The spark that launched Ruchi’s lifelong passion for challah

• How challah connects us to our Jewish identity, community, and spirituality

• The creation of her bestselling cookbooks that empower women and families to bring more meaning into their homes

Get ready for a conversation filled with wisdom, warmth, laughter, and the timeless magic of challah.

Connect with Rochie on Instagram and her website! She is available for booking for challah bakes and presentations as well as speaking engagements for women from all walks of life.

Tune in now to Season 14, Episode 1 of Drink It In: Behind the Pages!
