Q. In the Purim Packet you distributed on campus you gave a different reason for eating Hamantaschen than the one I always heard?

A. You’re right. What I wrote about G-d’s concealment in the Purim story represented by the hidden filling peeking out, and the 3 sides of the dough coming together as the story’s parts come together fitting perfectly is not the famous reason we all heard for eating these delicious cookies. But I did hear the interpretation printed on the card from teachers of mine, and I felt that this one leaves the reader with more “food for thought” than simply “Haman’s Ears” or “Haman’s Hat”.
