Design a doughnut for Chanukah!
We’ve joined forces with the United Synagogue and Carmelli’s in Golders Green for their competition to design a new doughnut to celebrate the upcoming festival.
Jewish News readers are set for an extra sweet Chanukah with the chance to create a new doughnut to be sold by London’s best-known kosher bakery.
We’ve joined forces with the United Synagogue and Carmelli’s in Golders Green for their competition to design a new doughnut to celebrate the upcoming festival.
“Sweet or savoury, meaty, milky or parev, the only limit is your imagination,” said Richard Verber, Communications Director at the US. “We’re looking for some fabulous new doughnut flavours to set taste buds alight this Chanukah.”
