<holidayfyi-glossary slug="hamantash"></holidayfyi-glossary>A triangular filled pastry traditional to the Jewish festival of Purim, filled with poppy seeds, prune jam, or chocolate, its three-cornered shape symbolically representing the hat or ears of Haman, the villain of the Purim story. The name combines 'Haman' with 'tash' (pocket in Yiddish), and giving mishloach manot — gift baskets of food including hamantashen — to friends and the poor is a central Purim obligation, making the pastry both a festive treat and a vehicle for communal generosity.
