artners Detroit
Women’s Division
Team hosted a Pre-
Purim Hamentash Bake in
February to help get into the
Purim spirit. “It was really a
display of Jewish unity from
women across the Jewish
spectrum coming together and
enjoying each other and unit-
ing with what we all have in
common, which is our Jewish
heritage,” said Shaindel Fink,
a member of the Women’s
Division Team.
The event took place at the
Partners Detroit Royal Oak
location, Platform 18. Fink
said 60 women of all ages
showed up to bake hamen-
tashen and learn about the
holiday.
“We had a breakfast buffet,
and then everyone went to

their table where they had
their own kit to create hamen-
tashen,” Fink said.
During the event, the
women also listened to Dassie
Bausk, a fellow member of
the Women’s Division Team,
who spoke about what Purim
is all about. Fink said it was
reenergizing to see multiple
generations baking together
and learning about the holi-
day. Everyone went home with
a tray of hamentashen.
The Women’s Division Team
hopes to continue empowering
and sharing knowledge, show-
ing women throughout Metro
Detroit what it means to be a
Jewish woman.
