Purim is right around the corner (coming up on Wednesday, March 16th) which means hamantaschen will be making their annual appearance at Mamaleh’s. This year, the team behind the beloved family of delis has a handful of ways for you to get your mitts on the sweet little morsels – you can sign up for an online class and let them show you how it’s done, you can order them online for local pick up, or you can ship them to friends and family across the country  – they’ve even added a philanthropic element, too so your sweets can support Ukrainian refugees. 

Learn how to make these lovely little sugar cookies (filled with fruit or chocolate and formed into that familiar triangle shape) with chef-owner Rachel Sundet through a free Virtual Hamantaschen Baking Class on Sunday, March 6th starting at 3:30pm. Join the party by watching or order a baking kit through their website starting Wednesday, March 2nd through Sunday, March 6th. Register here for the free zoom link and get your baking kit online today.

Or order these tasty morsels (available individually and in assorted boxes of 12) and 10% of the sales during the week of Purim will go to the Polish Humanitarian Action, to help Ukrainian refugees at the Polish border escape violence. Purim commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from Haman, and is a time that celebrates bravery and reflects on good prevailing over evil. Pre-order online now (flavors include chocolate toffee, raspberry Halvah, and date, walnut and white chocolate) between Monday, March 14 through Sunday, March 20th, and do what you can to help.

The delicatessen crew can also help you give the gift of food and drink to friends and family around the country with a Mishloach Manot. The Purim Baskets, perfect for anyone any everyone (whether they celebrate Purim Day or not) include: a jar of Mamaleh’s raspberry jam, a granola bar, 6 Hamantaschen (2 of each flavor), a handful of sesame crunch candy, Mamaleh’s sticker, Joyva Jelly Rings, an apple, gragger/noisemaker and $5 donation to Mazon — all for $36. There are few things better than getting a surprise care package in the mail. Order through Mamaleh’s gift shop here.
