I don’t know what that is, but it looks like it would be scrumptious!

They are called hamantaschen and are a traditional treat for the Jewish holiday of Purim. The name comes from Haman, who was the evil Persian king who wanted to kill the Jews.

Have a blessed Purim, Amy. For me Queen Esther’s story exemplifies the power of prayer. Hope your grandchildren have a grand time in costume.

Happy Purim to you and your family Amy. I had to look up this holiday (I had to know what the delicious-looking pastries are). Mishloach manot sounds like an excellent tradition; sharing food with others is such a loving thing.

Thanks, Su. It is a wonderful holiday which, now that our kids are grown, we rarely observe. 😦

I read it involved lots of alcohol — surely that’s easier when you don’t have small children 😂😂

Yeah—you’re supposed to get so drunk that you can’t tell Haman from Mordechai, but I can’t say we ever have done that (at least for the holiday)!

A friend that lives near you made lemon hamentaschen! I want to taste them. Otherwise, I prefer poppyseed :). Happy Purim . . . .

Poppyseed is my favorite, followed by apricot. Not a fan of prune or raspberry, and I can’t imagine lemon.
