We are very excited to announce, and had to share, that Papa Ben and his daughter Gail Lesser-Gerber are on the cover of the November issue of Specialty Food Magazine – the only magazine dedicated to food and beverage.  In this article Specialty Food Magazine so eloquently tells its readers about Papa Ben’s Kitchen and its great cause behind these delicious cookies, remembrance. You see, our Mandelbroyt is more than a tasty dessert, each cookie is a testament to those who survived the Holocaust and a way of honoring those who did not.  In 2008 Papa Ben founded the Zachor Holocaust Remembrance Foundation and began handing out commemorative pins with the Hebrew word Zachor (Remember) on it to students that attended Papa Ben’s talks.

The response was overwhelming.  And today we have given out more than 100,000 pins, hoping to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive. The Zachor Foundation’s purpose is to ensure that people never forget the immense tragedy of the Holocaust and that is why we at Papa Ben’s Kitchen donate a percentage of our profits to this great organization. We are committed to making a difference in this world, one cookie at a time! Thank you Specialty Food Magazine for telling our story.
