Teens to bake hamantashen for vulnerable Jews

TORONTO — Tamara Weiss, a Grade 10 student in Toronto, speaks eloquently about giving back to the Jewish community, an experience that she says is characterized by “unity and selflessness, which are essential to a prosperous community.”

Weiss is one of 20 teenagers taking part in the Toronto Diller Teen Fellows Program, UJA Federation of Greater Toronto’s 15-month leadership development initiative for Jewish youths in grades 10 and 11.
