Vote for favourite flavour to create new cheesecake for Shavuot
Now is your chance to decide which cheesecake flavour should take the crown - with a chance to win a free cheesecake for yourself.
Voting is now open for the Jewish News’ Choose your own Cheesecake competition – with five flavours being shortlisted.
The competition, alongside United Synagogue and COCO Bakery in Golders Green, is challenging readers to design their own cheesecake, with the winning entry being sold and made ahead of Shavuot.
The top five shortlisted entries are: The Mojito, with lime and mint; the Eton Mess, with strawberries and cream; S’mores which has chocolate and toasted marshmallows; Matcha and white chocolate; and lastly, a Red Velvet cheesecake.
Voting will close on Monday 3rd May and to make the competition even sweeter, everyone who votes has a chance to win a free cheesecake.
The winning entry will be baked and sold by COCO Bakery in the run up to Shavuot and the winner will take home their own cheesecake along with a voucher from COCO. The bakery will donate a proportion of the sale of each of the winning cheesecakes to US Chesed to support vulnerable families.
“It might be soon time to choose London’s next mayor but first we need you to choose a cheesecake,” said Richard Verber, Communications Director at the United Synagogue.
“Each of our candidates stands a strong chance of winning and your vote really could make the difference. And frankly, who doesn’t want to win a free cheesecake?”
The winner will be announced in the Jewish News on Thursday, 6 May.
Readers can vote now via www.theus.org.uk/cheesecake.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
