PI.AIN TALK-By Alfred Segal
All About a Dish
Oh, it may be too late in the
season for this column to lec
ture on hamantaschen which is
a delicacy of the Purim season;
an dnow Purim is quite awhile
passed, and now it is Pesach. So
why fill this column with ham-
anstaschen?
Put I cannot politely turn
away this lady of 20234 Avon
Road, Detroit, who asks this
column to embark on a cam
paign to change hamantaschen’s
name . . even now, some weeks
after hamantaschen’s annual sea
son (The lady asked me please
not to print her name here, but
to speak only of hamantaschen!)
Hamantaschen! There may be
some who don't know haman
taschen even by its name . . .
that is to say, folks who were
brought up strictly on Reform
Judaism even from their baby-

hood and never were privileged to
become acquainted with haman
taschen Well, before going on
with this column, I should tell
these people: Hamantaschen is a
pastry stuffed with raisins or
prunes or poppy seeds and it’s
named for that awful, awful
Haman who happily was hanged
after that lovely Jewish girl
Esther exposed him as the prime
minister who was plotting to de
stroy all the Jews of the king
dom.
(Therefore, in his dreadful
memory the pastry called ha-
mantaschen is happily named
and pleasurably eaten by us all )
Now this lady of 20234 Avon
Road in Detroit is saying in a
letter to me which is all about
Haman and the tasteful dish
that is named for him:“Dear Mr.
Segal: I have been a good friend
of yours for some 15 years, in
asmuch as I have been reading
your column in the Wisconsin
Jewish Chronicle for at least
that long. Now I would like to
have my first chat with you.
“Each year in the Purim sea
son many of my friends talk
about making ‘hamantaschen’ for
the Purim holiday. I have never
made any and I have eaten it
seldom, but each time I hear
that name I cringe a little. I see
no reason why a delicacy should
be named for that villain of all
villains . . . Haman.
“I once mentioned that to
someone . . . supposedly intelli
gent and religious, and she said,
‘Oh, that was 'such a long time
ago, so what’s the difference
what they’re called?' What an
attitude! Would she want to eat
cookies called ‘hitlercookies’?
“I don't like perpetuating Ha
inan’s name in that fashion, and I
for one would cease calling some
thing so tasty by his evil name
It doesn’t make sense to me.
What do you think'' Will you
help me start a campaign to
change the name of those cookies
to Purim cookies or to some
other nice name?”
Well, so herewith I’m started
by this lady toward changing
hamantaschen’s old, old name.
But what would my dear mama
(she has been out of this world
exactly 40 years) say to me
about this?
■ Oh, I recall her annual haman
taschen with tasteful memory.
She would work on them in our
kitchen all through the day be
fore Purim One such day she
permitted me to eat one of her
hamantaschen in advance. She
made it an occasion for a brief
speech in the kitchen
"Do you know why it’s called
hamantaschen’ ” she asked me.
I was then only about six years
old and knew very little about
the miserable men of the earth,
past or present.
“Hamantaschen,” mama ex
plained, ‘‘are so named after a
terrible man who was called Ha
man. He didn’t like us Jewish
people and one time he planned
to destroy us all. That happened
several thousand years ago, but
we keep on remembering it all
in hamantaschen.”
But after I had taken another
big bite of the hamantaschen, I
protested: “!, ut mama, why did
they name a nice cake like this
for a man that awful?”
And mama replied: “I guess it’s
to keep us all reminded of the
good lfe we’re having even after
all our years with that terrible

awarded the honorary degree of
Doctor of Divinity on March !!1
at Founder’s Day ceremonies ot

stitute of Religion. America’
seminary of Reform Judaism.
The College which has campuses
in Cincinnati, New York and Dos
Angeles, was founded in 1875 by
Isaac Mayer Wise
Rabbi Gruber, a graduate of
Harvard University, received the
man Haman. Yes, we enjoy ha
mantaschen with that man's
name on it . . because it reminds
us that we’re still alive when we
all might be dead with Haman
who was hanged. Would you
like another hamantaschen by
which to remember thankfully
that we all got away from that
awful man, have lived even to
now with his name on this cake?”
‘‘Yes, mama, thanks. I’ll eat up
another one.”
Well, dear Detroit lady, I still
love to eat hamantaschen ... by
way of devouring that awful guy
named Haman. So I can’t feel
sure whether hamantaschen’s
name should be changed. But I
do respect the stomachs of others
which can’t stand Haman. So, if
there are other lady-readers who
don’t like that taste of Haman,
I should like to hear from them
. . . toward the purpose, maybe,
of removing Mr. Haman from all
hamantaschen.
“Purimtaschen” might be a
more delectable title, if it came
right down to a change, we’re
glad Mr. S’s friend isn’t sug
gesting changing the delicacy
in content to some sort of aus
tere vital like the one identi
fied with Passover.
