 Ali Mendelson recently baked a unique rainbow challah and the photos quickly went viral on Tumblr







In an interview with Bored Panda, mystic-chord said her mother taught how to make challah herself and has been making in every week for the past 15 years. “She took a recipe from a cookbook and adapted it over the years to make it her own,” explained the daughter. “She also used to make soap, which influenced the visual aspect of the pride challah. In terms of the actual skills for the colors, she winged it!” Mystic-chord also added that it was sweet and delicious and made a killer French toast.

It did not take long before photos of the rainbow challah went viral on Tumblr, and so far they’ve collected over 72k notes on the website.

After the initial post went viral, Ali baked more rainbow challahs and showed the instructions



























“My mom loves that she inspired people to make challah,” said Ali’s daughter. “Even more than that, she loves that so many queer Jewish people felt loved and accepted because of her challah.”

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!

Got wisdom to pour?
