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!

This week I baked a Kamala Harris challah. It’s Challalah, y’all!!! I had planned all along to make this challah and I’m sticking to it, though I was hoping it would be under different circumstances. I based my challah on this amazing poster designed by @westvillagefamous and illustrated by @jkroik. When we fight, we win. Sometimes the fight takes a while, that doesn’t mean we won’t win. Thank you for your valiant effort, Mamala. Kol hakavod and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a GO VOTE challah! Koool, there are just merely an astounding few long and anxious days left in this election and it’s super-important to exercise your right to vote. I’m not going to tell you who you should vote for, that’s up to you. BUT, you need to get out there and do it. My challah design was inspired by @primepartofficial’s yard sign with Schoolhouse Rock’s charming voting booth. GO VOTE and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Venom challah! This time of year, I usually make a scary-ish challah (hey, it’s Challahween next week). I think the Marvel villain Venom is particularly terrifying (especially to eat those spikey challah teeth! UGH) and there’s a new movie that opened yesterday “Venom: The Last Dance.” On another note: Today was the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, the last of high holidays this season. It’s typically a very joyous holiday, but this year, it’s a particularly difficult anniversary for us. Again we charge on and do our best to spread joy and love, against all odds. Chag sameach and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Pooh Gets Stuck challah! Winnie the Pooh is really just the best. But why did I make this challah this week? OK, follow me here...this week is the holiday Sukkot. Rabbi Yael (@midrashmanicures) so humorously noted that on some poorly designed products, the Hebrew word for Sukkot was spelled backwards (Hebrew reads right to left, sillies). When you spell it backwards, it spells...TUCHUS...the Yiddish word for BUTT. So I racked my brain trying to think of a butt-related challah to make, one that was fairly innocuous. I was going to make Pooh’s butt sticking out of Rabbit’s House door, but it didn’t look like much. This is a much better scene. Oh bother! ALSO, it’s a particularly celebratory Sukkot right now, so chag sameach to all who celebrate and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Biscuits the Seal challah! I’m continuing my series of cute famous animals from social media with this adorable baby seal rescue at the VA Marine Mammal Rescue Society in Vancouver. It’s also the start of Yom Kippur tonight, our most important high holiday of the year. Hopefully, all of you who are fasting tomorrow will have an easy fast (after eating a lot of challah today!), g’mar chatimah tovah, and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Pesto the Penguin challah! It’s Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and we typically make a round challah that symbolizes the circular nature of the year. There’s nothing more round and awesome than Pesto! If you don’t know who he is, Pesto is a massive penguin chick born at the Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium. At 9mo old, he weighed as much as a 6yr old human. Last week, I made a Moo Deng challah, but this week we get a different type of cute and cuddly animal to fawn over. Pesto is the fluffy chonk we need right now. L’shana Tovah and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Moo Deng challah! She’s just the cutest, most famous pygmy hippo you’ve ever seen. Moo Deng lives in Thailand and her name means “Bouncy Pork”...because of course it does. She’s all roly-poly and slippery and she bites and she’s adorable! Squishy, just like challah. Also, I’m hoping for safety for everyone caught in the path of Helene this week. Stay safe and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Mufasa challah! With the passing of the incomparable James Earl Jones last week, I had to make another challah based on a character he voices to honor his memory (SEE: Darth Vader challah). There’s a new Mufasa movie coming out in December, it looks like a pretty interesting CGI prequel to The Lion King (reserving judgment until Dec). I based my challah design on the very cool Mufasa shirt from @fifthsunofficial. Check them out, no connection, I’m just a fan. I hope my braids were able to capture even a bit of his majestic gaze. Everything the challah touches is our kingdom...Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked an Apple logo challah! This past Monday was one of my favorite days of the year, Apple Announcement Day or iPhone Day. For like 15 years, I’ve had a ritual where I get lunch from my favorite shawarma place near my house, plop down in front of the TV, and see what those crazies at Apple have for us this year. Sadly, the announcement this year was pretty snoozy. But I’m hopeful for next year. Think different and Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Beetlejuice challah! I’m excited to see the new Beetlejuice sequel, which is coming out tonight. The original is really one of the best movies ever made and can’t help but wait to see where they take this next. What’s your favorite scene from the original? “We’ve come for your daughter, Chuck!” is one of those lines that stuck with me all these years. It’s showtime! Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Chappell Roan challah! Why? Because she’s everywhere and her music is fun. This summer, in our fair city of Chicago, she drew the largest daytime crowd to Lollapooza ever. People say I’m jealous but my kink is challah. H-O-T-T-O-G-O snap and clap and braid your dough. Shabbat shalom!

This week I baked a Mary Poppins challah! Did you know that Mary Poppins first floated into our hearts SIXTY YEARS ago next week?? What’s your favorite memory from this timeless classic?

This week I baked a Raygun Dancing challah! The Olympics are the gift that keeps on giving all summer through. I’m sure you’ve seen Australian b-girl Raygun’s ummmm innovative breaking performance from last week...as Ozone and Rerun are rolling in their graves #iykyk. I saw someone online call her Napoleon Vegemite and I cannot handle it. Everyone just be nice. Keep breakin’ and Shabbat shalom!
