See meteor event maps documentation for examples of options for Template.menu.events(). Your click function could be written like this: 

Template.menu.events({
  'click button': function(){
    $("p").hide();
  } 
});

If you need to use jquery to add an event, a better place is in your templates rendered function. Like this:

Template.menu.rendered = function(){
  $("button").click(function(){
     $("p").hide();
  });
};
