4500. PURIM, SEPHARDIC WOMAN FROM JERUSALEM PREPARES ‘FULARES’ PASTRIES AND CAKES FOR SABBATH ZAKOR. A FULARES PASTRY RESEMBLES A TOWER OR GALLOWS WHICH RECALLS THE GALLOWS THAT HAMAN PREPARED FOR MORDECHAI BUT ON WHICH HE HEMSELF WAS ULTIMATELY HANGED. THE EGGS SYMBOLIZE THE OFFSPRING OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE WHO HAMAN SOUGHT TO DESTROY.
