From my Table: Slice-and-Bake Hamantaschen

Here’s an easy way to make our favorite three-cornered cookies minus the shaping, filling, and pinching steps!

From my Table: Slice-and-Bake Hamantaschen

I think there’s a natural tendency, to try to create something different. Something that stands out and that presents well, especially if you have a creative streak. But there is definitely an advantage to staying within some kind of confines too. We each have a responsibility to our circles and our communities, so even if creativity is our impetus, we need to be aware of the norms around us.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I wonder if Purim is really the time to exercise our creativity. Meaning, if Purim is the only time of year that we have the opportunity to get creative, maybe we need to be on the lookout for other opportunities throughout the year — specifically the times that aren’t quite as hectic.

In this issue we have some fun ideas, some beautiful ideas, and some delicious ideas. All are new and some version of different. But more important than incorporating all of these ideas into our plans this year, I hope we can strike the right balance of creative versus doable that we’ll truly feel proud of.
