Passover is a beautiful time to gather with family and friends, reflect on our shared history, and celebrate freedom around the Seder table. Hosting a Seder might feel a bit overwhelming at first, but with a little preparation and a lot of heart, you can create a warm, meaningful, and unforgettable evening.

Passover is almost here, and that means it's time to clean out the chumetz from our kitchens and break out the matzo! Growing up, my mom would pack Passover lunches for me to take to school. Gingerly, she'd wrap matzo topped with farmer's cheese, salt, and pepper in aluminum foil with macaroons for dessert.

Passover incorporates three things I love: food, family, and storytelling. From having seders at a bustling table with my campus Hillel to holding up my seder plate on a Zoom screen at virtual seders, I have always felt connected to the words of the Haggadah and the symbolic foods in front of me.

There are so many amazing hamantaschen photos on Instagram (that have our mouths salavating), that we just had to look up the recipes and share some of our favorites. 

All natural Hamantaschen for Purim! A carnival of colors to make this most joyous of holidays bright. Thank you, Lisa, for inviting me to share a guest post.
