74: Challah Dolly! Learning to Bake and Building Community During the Pandemic with Dolly Meckler

How many of you have started trying your hand at baking bread since the start of the pandemic? With our lives totally upheaved and our work-related identities really being called into question, it's allowing us some time to explore different sides of ourselves, and sometimes connect more deeply with our communities even in isolation.

My guest this week, Dolly Meckler, is doing just that! Dolly is a content creator, story teller, and social media strategist based out of NYC and LA. She has a burning desire to bring laughter and entertainment into peoples lives through story – she produces and creates the online webseries and podcast Hello Dolly!, and is the co-founder of Snaplistings. Through her professional experience, she has become an expert in all things digital, social and video, while establishing a social presence and voice for some of the biggest properties in entertainment at HBO + YouTube.

Over the last few weeks however, she has used her time in quarantine to learn how to bake challah, a Jewish bread, and has been selling them to Los Angeles locals. After posting about the challah on Instagram, dozens of of followers asked if they could buy themselves one of the "Challah Dolly's" (a play on "Hello Dolly,"). She's on the show today to share more about her experience learning how to make and share challah, and how she's bringing in her digital and social media expertise to not only nurture her own Jewish and creative identities, but bring joy and silver linings to the public as well.

Get Social with Dolly!
