     These seder plates are used during the Passover seder meal to hold the key elements of the seder. The gold word in the middle says, “Pesach,” and means Passover in Hebrew. Then, beginning to the right of Pesach and moving counter-clockwise, the Hebrew reads, “z’roa,” “charoset,” “chazeret,” “karpas,” “baytza,” and in the middle is “maror.” In English, these are, in the same order, the shank bone, an apple-honey-nut mixture called charoset, lettuce or a horseradish root, parsley, a roasted egg, and bitter herbs, which is usually a prepared horseradish.

     Many people use plastic liners with their seder plates to preserve the plate itself. Then all you have to do is wash the liners, and put the whole set away for the following year.

     The words on this glass seder plate are the same, only in a different order. The word in the middle is Pesach, then from the 1:00 position they read, “z’roa,” “chazeret,” “charoset,” “karpas,” “maror,” and “baytzah.” In the background is a seder table scene.

We will be celebrating beginning at 4:00pm. There will be a costume party for the children with prizes, so if you have kids, dress ‘em up as one of the characters from the book of Esther, and they just might come away with something special!

There will be food (of course!) and the special Purim cookies called hamentaschen.

And of course, karaoke! The fun of karaoke is that we all get the opportunity to sing, and the knowing the words won’t matter, because we’re changing them all anyway! Just come and be prepared to have a great time!

There is no charge for the festivities, though contributions are always gratefully accepted. See you there!

Ingredients:
     1/2 cup butter or margarine
     1 cup sugar
     1 egg
     1 tablespoon milk
     1 teaspoon vanilla extract
     2 cups flour
     2 teaspoons baking powder
     1/4 teaspoon salt
     Fruit preserves, prune jam or poppy seeds

Directions:
     Cream the butter and gradualy add sugar. Beat the mixture until fluffy. Add egg, milk and vanilla and beat well. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together and add to mixture. Stir to make a soft dough. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

     Sprinkle a board lightly with flour. Roll the dough out on the board until it is about 1/8 inch thick. Dip a wide-mouthed jar or glass into flour and cut circles from dough. Spook some preserves or jam in the center of each circle. Bring three sides of the circle together to form a triangle, leaving about one-third open in the center. Pinch the edges together to make a seam. Arrange well apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a hot oven (400 degrees) for 10 to 12 minutes.

     Makes about 36 hamentaschen.
