Purim is a great kids' holiday. Its central traditions consist of dressing up as Queen Ester or the villain Hamen, constructing and using noisemakers (to drown out Hamen's name when the story is read in Temple), and baking and sharing Hamentashan, three cornered cookies that look like Hamen's hat. Here is Abby with a batch of Hamentashan we made with her class. We made some at home as well, but an unfortunate decision to use whole wheat flour yielded less than optimal results.
