It's too late to submit your own latkes for the cook-off, but you're still welcome to join the dueling chefs at Temple Micah, 2600 Leyden Street, and sample some of the prize-worthy latkes and toppings. Traditional games will be on hand for kids to play while adults participate in an auction of hanukiyot (Hanukkah candelabras) from Julia Neumann's collection, as well as the opportunity to bid on custom Judaica from Alan Bieber. The cook-off and auction run from 4 to 6 p.m., and admission, which includes unlimited latkes and toppings, dessert, beverages, games and gifts, is $5 to $10, with family discounts available.

Sat., Dec. 1, 4-6 p.m., 2007
