Yiddish communities in different regions of Europe called the bread khale, berkhes or barches, bukhte, dacher, kitke, koylatch or koilitsh, or shtritsl.[1][4] Some of these names are still in use today, such as kitke in South Africa.[4]
The term koylatch is cognate with the names of similar braided breads which are consumed on special occasions by non-Jews in Eastern Europe. These are the Russian and Ukrainian kalach, the Serbian kolač, the Bulgarian kolak, the Hungarian kalács, and the Romanian colac. These names originated from Proto-Slavic kolo meaning "circle", or "wheel", and refer to the circular form of the loaf.

Elf Evans is a photo Maker, Abstract Expressionist Painter, Author.
Elf Evans began his artistic career in Santa Monica, California as an Abstract Expressionist Painter inspired by artists from the New York School of painting. He attended Hollywood Art Center School on the GI Bill and also studied commercial photography at Santa Monica City College.
Colour and lighting are the immediate methods of distinguishing his techniques from other photographers. Since moving to France in 2008, he has continued to exhibit, impress and strive for the ever illusive best possible ingredients for his compositions..
A key feature of his work is not to overcrowd his images with too many features, thus allowing the viewer to use their mind, eyes, and intellect to guide them in his compositions. He works often with Mannequin Heads and Musical Instruments.
