Since 1946, the Latke-Hamantash Debate has been a University of Chicago tradition enjoyed by Nobel Prize winners and University presidents alike. Each year, faculty members gather together and apply the knowledge and tools of their disciplines to resolve the age-old question: What is the more perfect Jewish food, the latke or the hamantash?

From filmmakers Amy Krause and David Beerman, LATKE VS. HAMANTASH turns this legendary campus debate into a funny, moving exploration of Jewish identity, resilience, and the power of shared laughter.
