My bakery gave away today all the challah from rosh hashana. I took 4 but wondering if they’ll even be good? Will reheating it help?

Put it briefly under water, let rest briefly, put it in the oven at 180° for a few minutes, just before you want to eat it..
It will be fresh and good again as long as it's warm.
Otherwise:
Make toast or French toast or rusks or croutons or garlick bread or grate it for bread crumbs

It's never going to be good to eat as soft bread like one would eat fresh bread.
Stale bread can be toasted as toast is essentially stale bread.
Stale bread makes great croutons. It makes great breadcrumbs - bread crumbs made from real bread are better than commercial bread crumbs unless you are comparing to panko
A bit more ambitious is making a bread pudding. Bread pudding made from challah is delicious and freezes well so you have it on hand when you want to serve it.

Stale bread makes delicious French toast. It's better than fresh bread for French toast.

Bli neder, I'll post in the morning.
Mine is similar to Amarante's, but written parev.
3c creamer
1t vanilla
8oz chocolate chips
4 eggs
1/2c sugar
Bread
Break the bread into small chunks and spread in the bottom of a 9x13 pan (1 to 1.5 layers thick, shouldn't be nearly laid).
Bring creamer and vanilla to a boil. Add chocolate chips to melt.
Whisk eggs and add sugar.
Combine mixtures. Pour over bread and mix to cover.
Leave 1 hour.
Bake at 325 for 40 minutes.
Serve warm or room temperature.

Chocolate Challah Bread Pudding
Ingredients
For pudding
5 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups whole milk
2½ cups heavy cream
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp vanilla extract
6 oz semi sweet chocolate, chunks
12 cups challah bread, 1 inch cubes
For topping
2 tbsp unsalted butter
½ ground cinnamon
3 tbsp sugar
Instructions
Prepare the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Add the milk, cream, melted butter, salt, vanilla and chocolate chunks.
Toss 8 cups of the challah cubes with the custard, making sure all of the cubes are well coated. Transfer the cubes to a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, cover it lightly with plastic wrap, and allow to sit for 20 minutes
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325
Make the topping: Combine the melted butter, cinnamon and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix in the remaining 4 cups of challah. Place these challah cubes on top of the pudding and press down on them to partially submerge the bread (this will become the crispy topping).
Bake for 50 minutes or until set. Serve warm, straight from the skillet
Notes
Top with whipped cream and caramel sauce for an extra decadent treat

No. It depends on high quality dairy products so I would make a dessert that didn’t depend so heavily on butter, cream and milk.

I’ve made my version for a dairy brunch. It’s easy to pop in the evening because you can prep everything earlier or even the night before.
The savory version is usually called a strata and is made with cheese and is super delicious as well as being easy. I make mine with 🍄 mushrooms.
