Ivanka Trump and her daughter Arabella, spent the weekend baking Challah

Ivanka Trump is keeping family traditions alive by sharing cherished recipes. In a recent series of Instagram stories, she posted photos of herself and her daughter, Arabella, making Challah bread—a classic staple of Jewish cuisine. The two appeared to have spent a significant portion of their weekend in the kitchen, learning from baking expert Rochie Pinson, who is known for her instructional books and social media tutorials on Challah baking.

Ivanka documented their baking journey through various Instagram stories, including a snapshot of Pinson and Arabella smiling together as they prepared the dough.

For the occasion, Arabella dressed in a brown button-up sweater and jeans, beaming for the camera. Ivanka expressed her gratitude, writing, “Thank you, Rochie Pinson (the Challah whisperer!) for sharing your joy and passion with Arabella and me this afternoon!” She also posted a video showcasing the braiding process, where Arabella carefully wove the dough over a translucent table with a guiding grid.

Pinson, impressed with Arabella’s technique, encouraged her by saying, “Okay, you’re made for this!” while offering small pointers along the way.

Ivanka later shared photos of their finished bread—three beautifully baked loaves in different shades, some topped with seeds and what appeared to be chocolate. She wrapped up the experience by reposting a story from Pinson, featuring herself and Arabella proudly displaying their freshly baked Challah. “Passing our beautiful traditions on, from mother to daughter. Truly a significant moment!” wrote Pinson.

She also praised Arabella’s efforts, writing, “This talented girl made these herself. First time!”
