For Lauren and her sister Jenny, Purim is about two things: hamantaschen and remembering their mother, Maxine. Every year without fail, these two sisters gather to carry on their mother’s tradition of making hundreds of Hamantaschen to share with their expectant, grateful children and community. And I can see why their children and neighbors treasure this tradition - these soft, flaky, triangular cookies are three bites of perfectly balanced crust and sweet (but not too sweet!) filling.
Highlights

- The annual Hamantaschen-making tradition
