Thanks for the post. I know I will be teaching a lesson “after the fact” but plan to develop a powerpoint for my Sunday School Class to introduce Purim and the events leading up to and then show the 20 minute Superbook “For Such a Time as This”. I checked out Amazon.com and found hamantaschen. . .haman’s ears and I guess I’ll introduce those to the class as well. I hope they taste as good as they look.

Oh they taste good all right. Just make sure you get a good recipe. Some traditional fillings are poppy seeds and figs, but I think those are boring and prefer to use jam/jelly. You can use whatever you want really. The possibilities are endless. Here are a few hamentaschen pics where the cooks were creative:
