Challah Artist.
Week after week, Freddie Feldman creates stunning challah designs

This week I baked a Catbus challah! No doubt you have all seen the Studio Ghibli images generated by the new ChatGPT model this week. I bet none of them include CATBUS. My Neighbor Totoro is one of the best animated movies ever and Catbus is one of the best and insane parts of it. BTW the reason OpenAI chose Ghibli as the “style” they were pushing to show for this new model is because Japanese copyright laws allow training AI with their art, it’s a grey area for sure. I’m not saying this is a good thing so don’t @ me. Nothing at all can match the gorgeous, painstakingly hand-drawn art from Ghibli’s work. But yeah, I had to include my own Ghibli-style pic (“Follow me, I’m dorky.”) Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Hello Kitty challah! I was trying to think of what design to do this week and I realized that today is the anniversary of my bar mitzvah (yay yay mazel). I was looking at what cartoons were popular the year of my bar mitzvah and I found there was an animated series on TV back in the late 80’s called Hello Kitty’s Furry Tale Theater. Yeah, you can find episodes online, and I realized I totally remember the theme song! Remember kids, you can never have too many friends. Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Batman Purim challah! Today is the Jewish holiday of Purim, which is celebrated by dressing up in costumes, reading the book of Esther, eating hamentaschen, and exchanging baskets of food/treats. There are many children in our community that are dressing like Batman this Purim, to honor the memory of Ariel Bibas (z”l) who loved Batman. I went with the vintage logo because I think it’s kinda cooler than the newer one tbh. Chag sameach and Shabbat shalom! 🧡

This week I baked a Severance challah! Your outie likes to bake challahs on Fridays. Your outie is obsessed with Severance. At a restaurant, your outie can calculate the tip in their head. I’ve gotta say, my challah work is mysterious and important. Here’s the Lumon logo in braided dough form, delivered to you mobile televisually, praise Kier! Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Chris Farley challah! His character Matt Foley, the motivational speaker who lives in a “VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!” is probably Farley’s most memorable. Seeing all the SNL50 shows a couple weeks ago, I’m reminded how amazingly funny Chris Farley was and what a terrible loss it was for us all when he died. I really like the details I was able to pull off in this challah (yeah, he’s sweating). Remember kids, be careful or you’ll be living in a van down by the river. Whoops-a-daisy! Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Kendrick Lamar challah! I know you’ve seen this meme around the last couple of weeks and now it’s in challah-form. Listen, I made this challah a few days ago because I’m traveling today, but I don’t want y’all to think I’m not crushed by the news that came out yesterday. I struggled with whether or not to post it, but I decided that I am here to uplift and spread some Jewish joy as my part of “tikkun olam” or “repairing the world.” As we grieve, we need to be strong and not let them break us. Baruch dayan ha’emet and Shabbat shalom. 🧡🧡

This week I baked a Whomping Willow challah! Yesterday was the wonderful holiday of Tu Bishvat, the holiday for the trees. Of course, I had to make a tree-themed challah (with Mr. Weasley’s flying Ford crashed in it). I’m loving that my collection of Harry Potter themed challot continues to grow too (see: Hagrid, Dumbledore, Hippogriff). WHOMP! WHOMP! Chag sameach and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Dog Man challah! He’s got the head of a dog, sewn onto the body of a man (peep the stitches on his neck). There’s a new animated movie out the other day and it looks totally fun. Did you read Dog Man? And remember, it’s your story, kid. Color it any way you want! Shabbat shalom!!

This week I baked a Lunar New Year Snake challah! A happy and prosperous new year to all my friends and family celebrating the Lunar New Year and Year of the Snake. I love that Jews aren’t the only ones who follow a lunar year, they’re just shifted a bit from each other. The other amazing thing is how we as humans all celebrate some sort of holiday around our planet revolving once around our sun. Makes you realize we’re all so similar, even though many seem to focus on our differences lately. For this challah, I made red dough and used edible gold accents, but the red coloring came out a bit more pink than I would have liked. What to do you think?? Gong hay fat choy and Shabbat shalom!!

Is that hyperpigmentation??This week I baked a Hyperpigmentation Meme challah! Wtf is up with this meme? I honestly don’t get it. Is it funny? Is it weird? I thought the video was sweet. So Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Tina Belcher challah! I’ve been wanting to make this one for so long but it just never happened...until today. And thus completes my collection of challahs in the shape of all Belchers from Bob’s Burgers. I also have the distinction of making the only challah ever in the shape of someone twerking HA! Tina is voiced by the hilarious and deadpan @thisisdanmintz Listen, she’s no hero, she puts her bra on one boob at a time like everyone else. Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Hollywood Sign challah. We’re all helplessly watching what’s happening around LA with the awful Palisades, Eaton, Sunset, Creek, and Hurst fires. Just to put it into perspective, the wildfires have burned TWICE the acreage of Manhattan. Imagine that. Simply devastating. I urge you all to help out in any way you’re able. Sending all of the love to everyone in and around LA. Stay safe and shabbat shalom!

This week I baked an Andy Cohen & Anderson Cooper NYE challah! The boys were back again this year for the 8th year of their New Year’s Eve show on CNN. They were drinking as usual and we learned that apparently Diplo was tripping while on the broadcast, which probably wasn’t a great idea (but a hilarious reveal to see the guys’ reactions). I hope you all had a happy and safe NYE, a wonderful year this coming year, and a Shabbat shalom! MAZEL!

This week I baked a Keep the Han in Hanukkah challah! Tonight is the third night of Chanukah and we can all rejoice that Han Solo, Harrison Ford, is actually half-Jewish. Here in “Beit Dorky,” we watched the season finale of Shrinking last night and if Harrison doesn’t win an Emmy for his unbelievable acting in this series, there’s seriously something wrong. Hopefully, you all are having a festive Hanukkah but also thinking of those 100 or so remaining people who are not able to celebrate with their families this year. Chag urim sameach and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Buddy the Elf challah! Elf is one of the best Xmas movies and even us Members of the Tribe have our favorites. Tonight, I’m determined to enjoy all the four food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corn...and syrup. Merry Xmas to all my friends & family who celebrate. Next week, Chanukah just so happens to start on Xmas night, so fear not, expect some sort of Chanukah challah from me next time. Shabbat shalom!

I’m lowkey just a chill challah. This week I baked a Chill Guy challah! I’m assuming you’ve all seen this Brian Griffin lookalike character floating around the internets. He was created by an artist named Phillip Banks @philbbankss like a year ago. I am actually a chill guy, in general, so I guess I can relate to him. Hoping you all have a chill Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Banana Duct-Taped to a Wall challah! Have you seen this piece of “art” that is an actual banana duct-taped to a wall? The piece isn’t new, it’s called “Comedian” and was made by Maurizio Cattelan in 2019. It was purchased last week for over $6 MILLION and the buyer ate the banana! Oh my! So this is my challah art piece inspired by that unusual art piece. Should I auction it off and donate a portion of the proceeds to charity?? I’m thinking I should. Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Doughboy Parade Balloon challah! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving yesterday, got to see loved ones, eat some food you love, and hopefully watch the parade & the dog show (fav in our house)! So this is dough in the shape of a balloon in the shape of a character that is made out of dough. This is definitely a meta-challah. Enjoy those leftovers, have a happy Thanksgiving and a Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Wicked challah! Everyone’s a-buzzin’ about the new Wicked film and I cannot wait to see it. Some of my fam saw it last night and just raved and raved. Please please do not sing along in the theater unless it’s a sing-a-long show. This challah was quite the challenge for myself but I think it was worth it. Of course, I listened to the soundtrack as I made this challah. Remember, everyone deserves the chance to fly and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Bob Belcher challah! Gotta keep moving on completing my set of Bob’s Burgers character challahs (see: Linda, Gene, and Louise). I even made my own Burger of the Day (I do OK with the photoshop). They did a few challah-themed burgers on the show including a “Home for the Challah-Days Burger” but I like mine better. Bob is seriously one awesome guy and voiced by the amazing H. Jon Benjamin (@jazzdaredevil). You know who’s not so awesome, the guy who played Jimmy Pesto Sr (I’m not sayin’, I’m just sayin’). Okay, hold down the fort, I gotta drop a potato in the crockpot...Shabbat shalom!
