Kids gathered around the judges’
table
as the latkes were tasted.

pumpkin, pretzels, pie filling,
cookies, zucchini and carrots,
but no traditional binders like
flour or matzah meal were
offered to them. Teams quickly
learned their latkes were going
to fall apart unless they came
up with a creative solution like
grinding the pretzels into flour
or mashing up the grated pota-
toes they were given.
The event drew kids from
Young Israel of Southfield, Bais
Chabad of West Bloomfield,
Kehillat Etz Chayim, Bais
Yaakov School for Girls, Yeshiva
Beth Yehudah, Farber Hebrew
Day School and Ohr Chadash
and Shomrei Emunah syna-
gogues. Everyone came together
for fun to show off their cook-
ing style and compete.
A team of boys from Yeshiva
Beth Yehudah was the middle
school champ, and the elemen-
tary winners were all Farber
Hebrew Day School students.
