Local teens got their hands sticky for a good cause this week at the CTeen Hamantash Bake, raising $650 for The Caring Kitchen while learning to fold the perfect three-cornered Purim treat.

The afternoon was part baking lesson, part friendly competition over whose hamantashen looked best, and all about raising money for a good cause! The money goes to support The Caring Kitchen, a project of the Shalom Food Pantry, preparing  nutritious, tasty, and high-quality meals made with compassion for anyone in need of a nourishing hug.

Between flour clouds and debates between cherry versus cappuccino brownie filling, the teens managed to bake their way to a pretty impressive fundraising total while baking over 700 hamantashen!

Up next for CTeen Bethlehem? Teens are invited to a  Shabbat Dinner Around the World on February 27, where the menu travels globally and everyone’s invited to eat their way through different Jewish traditions.
