Our Values

In the past decade, U.S. public schools were underfunded by hundreds of billions of tax dollars. 600 million 15- to 24-year-olds worldwide are currently not in school or receiving job training, and 5 million girls are expected not to re-enroll.

NYB believes people pregnant individuals have the right to make their own choice about their healthcare, their body, and their future.   In recent years, several states, including Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana and Georgia, have pursued “heartbeat” bills that would ban abortion as soon as a physician is able to detect a fetal heartbeat.

Wonder why the flavors of pistachio, cardamom, and rosewater work so well together? They've been part of Middle-Eastern cuisine for thousands of years (pistachios even get a shout-out in the Torah).

But things in the Middle East are not working together well these days. And as the conflict continues, the forgotten victims are the children from both communities, who have grown up in a perpetual war zone. NYB believes protecting these children and fostering dialogue among them is our best hope for a roadmap to peace.

For every Strawberry Pistachio hamantasch you purchase, we'll donate 50% to Children of Peace, part of the largest peace network across the Middle East. Children of Peace is non-partisan and seeks to provide opportunities to nurture safety, urgent healing, and mutual understanding.

The exotic spices of masala chai are a healing staple for over a billion Indian people.

​

For every Pumpkin Chai hamantasch you purchase, we'll donate 50% to CARE India, one of the largest and oldest humanitarian aid organizations in the world, to provide more health workers, hospital beds, oxygen supply, and more to India's poorest and highest-population cities hit by COVID-19.

Cheesecake appears once a year in Jewish tradition, for the holiday of Shavuot (when the Torah was given). While numerous theories conjecture why we eat dairy on Shavuot, a common one relates milk to nourishing the young, just as the Torah was to do for the Jewish people.

Wildberries carry a natural ally in the form of anthocyanidins, antioxidant compounds known for their ability to traverse from the bloodstream into the brain. Scientific studies have demonstrated that these compounds actually concentrate in vital brain centers responsible for memory and learning.

So, with every purchase of our Wildberry hamantaschen, 50% of the profits will directly contribute to the Alzheimer's Association. This organization stands at the forefront of propelling global research, promoting risk reduction and early detection, and enhancing the provision of quality care and support.

In honor of Ukraines's national fruit, half the profits for each Cherry hamantasch fund UNICEF Ukraine.

Everyone loves creamy, tangy key lime pie. But what about kil’ayim pie? The Jewish observance of kil’ayim strives to protect the sanctity of the land, grains, and vegetables from genetic modification and abuse—a reminder that no one human truly owns the earth.

We share this tenet with our Native Americans siblings, and it remains challenged to this day in the wake of the atrocities committed by early settlers.

Some of us grew up with the mantra, "Hungry? Eat a banana." But 1 in 8 households (12.8%) in the United States experience food insecurity, or lack of access to an affordable, nutritious diet. And 1 in 7 individuals face hunger—a 30% more than last year.

​

So for every Bananas Foster hamantasch sold, we will foster a more equitable country by donating 50% of profits to Feeding America, the largest charity working to end hunger in the United States. Every dollar can help provide at least 10 meals to families facing hunger through the Feeding America network of food banks.
