Well, of all the details we could focus on with a symbolic food connecting us to Purim, it is not what one would expect. Could it be Queen Esther in a Palace? Or what did Cousin Mordecai wear? What was served during the banquet that Queen Esther hosted? No, not any of those specific details. Here it is, the mystery, the connection to the Hamantaschen cookie!
The sweet filled, delicious 3-corner cookie is none other (drum roll please)…the 3-cornered HAT that The Villain, Haman wore.
