Bean-to-Gelt: A Hands-on Exploration of Chocolate, Judaism, and the Sweetness of Chanukah

Celebrate the season with Bean-to-Gelt, a deliciously engaging workshop that weaves together the story of chocolate, Jewish tradition, and the joy of Chanukah. In this 2–3 hour hands-on experience, participants will:

• Discover the rich history of chocolate and its surprising connections to Jewish culture
• Create chocolate from scratch — “bean-to-gelt” — crafting something meaningful (and tasty!) with their own hands

Share in a fun, multi-generational experience perfect for adults, families, or youth groups.
