Purim food?
Like with all Jewish Holidays, food is involved with the
celebration of Purim. Of course, there is Mishloach
Manot - the exchanging gifts of goodies with relatives,
friends, and neighbors - but not to be out done, a Purim "Seuda,"
a festive meal, is part of the day's celebration. The Purim Seuda often contains
the specialty dish traditionally associated with the
holiday, the Kreplach, triangular shaped wontons, reminding
us of Haman's tri cornered hat. But in addition to the
Kreplach, some serve longer than usual braided Challah, as a
reminder of the long rope on which Haman was hanged.
Others include a Turkey dish (Hodu in Hebrew), commemorating
Ahsuerus's reign from India ("Hodu") to Ethiopia, as well as
the king's foolishness. Desert, of course, is
highlighted by the Hamentashen (Yiddish for Haman's
pockets), the three cornered filled cookie. In Israel,
the hamantashen are referred to as "Oznei Haman" - the ears
of Haman. Mazor Guide for Purim brings you much more about the holiday, its meaning and its traditions... See the links below. |
