Purim is the happiest day in the Jewish calendar.

The evil Haman had planned to annihilate the Jewish people and Queen Esther thwarted his wicked plan.

Haman was hung on a tree to dry and the Jews celebrate Purim to this day.

Lots of food, Lots of drink.

And lots of giving gifts to others.

That’s what Judaism’s all about I suppose!

Although we’d rather keep old Haman hanging in suspense,
there’s an ancient tradition to...eat him in one form or another!

Hamantashen is a triangular-shaped pastry traditionally served on Purim.

The original recipe contained poppy seed filling. The name came from poppy seed treats called “Mantashen.”

Some joker distorted it to “Hamantashen” which means “Haman's pockets” in Yiddish.

Some authorities claim he wore a three-cornered hat, (how do they know?)
and that’s why the pastry is triangular.

In Hebrew, the pastry is called “Oznei Haman,” Haman's ears.

This could be because he was rather embarrassed when his evil plot was
revealed. Could his ears have been red?

Was Haman the first Communist?

Or maybe he should have just listened to his mother, who asked him to buy
her one of these collectors-item sterling silver Hamentashen:

Many of us believe in some form of "luck",

Many attribute their Luck to charms and pendants -items such as necklaces.
For some the simplicity of the design or material generates an energy to which they attribute the Good Luck that they enjoy when wearing the necklace.
For some there is no need for logical or mystical reasons, the item is attractive -it has sentimental value –reminding them of better times and a happier life, therefore considered lucky.

For Soldiers, serving in the IDF, a simple leather bound book of Psalms, one of the more important books in the Bible (Old Testament).
The Book of Psalms, a book of divine hymns composed by King David, the Warrior and the Poet, and founder of the Jerusalem, the City of David.

 
Israeli men and women, serving in the Israel Defense Forces, wear such a necklace carrying a miniature yet complete book of psalms on it.
Other people believe that wearing bible quotation necklace provides the same good fortune and divine protection.

Personally, I believe that if you believe in something, no matter what it is, this will somehow enhance these mystic powers, however, illogical and unexplainable.
