The BIG Debate: Latke vs Hamantasch

Are you team latke or team hamantasch? I think you know what we are but in case you're unsure. Watch Yael take the stage at The Jewish Study Center to defend Team Hamantasch — and let’s just say this former attorney delivered!

In a room full of clever arguments, sharp wit, and a crowd ready to taste the results, Yael made the case for the sweet, triangle-shaped hero of Purim. Representing Baked by Yael (and all hamantaschen lovers everywhere), she brought humor, heart, and a deliciously compelling case for hamantaschen.

Watch the full debate below and decide for yourself… but we think the winner is pretty clear. 😉

And now that we’ve officially converted you to Team Hamantasch… you might as well taste what all the winning fuss is about. 😉
