How do you create a cake that represents Matan Torah? In the latest big brother program, in honor of Shavuot, the JEC HS juniors and Middle School students engaged in a unique Cake Wars challenge. Each team used basic materials like cakes, frosting and toothpicks to design creative thematic representations of the chag. The finished products were absolutely striking in both concept and execution!

The skills promoted by the big brother program were key to this project. The boys demonstrated effective communication and collaboration as they developed their ideas and navigated challenges such as sharing and accepting feedback appropriately. The JEC big brother program is designed to prepare children for a broad range of social interactions. Through a variety of experiences, in a controlled educational environment, boys learn to relate in a wholesome way to their peers and boys of different ages.
