On Tuesday, the Einaudi Center hosted a panel on settler-colonialism in North America and Palestine. As it was also on the Jewish holiday of Purim, the event received resistance from Jewish community members.
After online and hybrid celebrations during the pandemic, Purim festivities finally took place almost completely in-person on March 16.
Base Ithaca and Cornell Hillel celebrate Purim with virtual and distanced activities, keeping the spirit of the holiday alive.
Hamantaschen (noun): Jelly or chocolate filled, triangular shaped cookies that crop up around this time of year, and are obviously the superior holiday cookie. As a certified cookie expert (a.k.a. a product of the elusive freshman fifteen), I can assure you that cookies come in all shapes and sizes, and many are very similar. However,chocolate chip cookies, gingerbread and snickerdoodles all pale in comparison to hamantaschen. In early spring, there’s the Jewish holiday of Purim, celebrating the Jews triumph over a mass genocide. In addition to having a celebratory feast, we’ve also narrowed in on the triangular shaped cookie market.
