It was a hamentaschen cook-off Tuesday night, with Kesher (Reform) and Koach (Conservative) facing-off in a competition reminiscent of Iron Chef.
Program Director Bennie Cohen named Koach the winner because of how soft their hamentaschen were, which may have been due to the Koach team’s “secret ingredient.”
Hillel provided the basic ingredients and supplies, and each team chose its recipe ahead of time. Fillings included chocolate chips, peanut butter chocolate chips and different kinds of jelly.
Participants got even more creative by making a hamentaschen in the shape of a pretzel, a hamentaschen ball and some mini-hamentaschen about one-tenth the size of a normal one.
While the hamnetaschen baked in the oven, participants decorated and put together mischloach manot, gift baskets for their friends, which is another Purim tradition.
