Article Title: Featured Site: Feed Me Bubbe
By: Rebecca Halpin

In late May 2006, the then twenty-two year old Avrom Honig started Chalutz Productions. The company aims to be involved with the production of new media, hoping to fund various projects that meet the board’s quality standards.

So far, Honig and Chalutz have commissioned Honig’s adorable grandmother – Bayla Scher, who prefers to go simply by Bubbe (the Yiddish word for Grandmother) – to host her own Jewish cooking show, Feed Me Bubbe.

As any good Jew knows, the best home cooking comes from your grandmother, and since most of them never write down their recipes, the only way to obtain these little treasures is to get your Bubbe to show you how to make the meals herself. Feed Me Bubbe does just that, with a “wholesome, family-oriented” show designed to entertain while teaching the joys of Jewish cooking.

Article Title: Feed Me Bubbe Featured on ABC
By: Josh Cohen

If you know your matzah brie from your matzah balls and are at all familiar with online video, chances are you’re well aware of Feed Me Bubbee (Tilzy.TV page).

Started by the hyperactive, enthusiastic 23-year-old, Avrom Nehlig in May 2006, the online show features Bubbe – his chatty, endearing, too-cute 80-year-old Jewish grandmother – preparing tasty looking cultural dishes mixed with a bit of Yiddish and a lot of history.

The show has become an internet and cultural phenomenon, but for those unfamiliar with Bubbe’s kitchen exploits and the online video efforts of others her age, check out this Wall Street Journal article on using YouTube for purposes of posterity or watch ABC’s video version that aired on Charles Gibson this past Wednesday. As mainstream news coverage of internet video goes, the segment offers a surprisingly good summary.

Bubbe’s a jewel, Nehlig’s a mensch, and the show is deliciously good.  It’s great to see it receiving this much attention off of computer screens and congregation newsletters.
