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.
