Hamantaschen Star Of David

Description
This is my first time baking Hamantaschen, a classic fruit-filled cookie traditionally enjoyed during the Jewish holiday of Purim. In honor of this holiday, I formed a dozen of these delicious cookies into a Star of David.
Purim commemorates the Jewish people's victory over Haman who plotted to exterminate them in ancient Persia (present-day Iran). Queen Esther answered God's call to save her people, and courageously approached the king in petition to confront and overcome the death edict of Haman. You can read about this incredible, inspiring story of courage and heroism in the book of Esther in the Bible.

Artwork notes::
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ ב ס " ד ] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist and photographer of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
