Iron Blech

Trio of teens dominates annual cholent contest
at Young Israel of Oak Park.

C

ompetition was fierce at the 12th
annual Iron Blech contest at
Young Israel of Oak Park as 11
teams squared off to see who could win for
best cholent, a classic Shabbat dish.
Contestants prepared their cholents
on Sept. 3 and the contest was held on
Shabbat, Sept. 5 at the shul. More than 200
participants voted by dropping a ticket into
a container on the table of their favorite
cholent, simmering happily in a crock

pot. (A blech is traditionally a metal sheet
placed over burners on Shabbat to allow
food to stay warm.)
The winning team was the Freshman
Cholent consisting of three high school
freshman: Ethan Adler, Ari Erschler and
Justin Weil. One YIOP member speculated
that the team won because their cholent
contained plenty of meat and was well-
spiced. They took home a trophy. Other
contestants received certificates.

Busy in the kitchen: Steve Katz and his nephew Eitan Katz, 13, Southfield;
Deanna Kleiman, Noam Kurz and Jacob Kleiman, all of Oak Park.
