Do you know the history of Haman’s ears candy?
The name refers to the biblical character Haman from the Old Testament. Haman was a confidant of the Persian king and sought to kill all the Jews in the Persian Empire. His plan was eventually foiled by Queen Esther, who was herself of Jewish descent. In a figurative sense, then, the phrase “Haman’s ears” is used to describe any malicious plan.
Haman’s ears are traditionally baked on the holiday of Purim, which is celebrated in mid-March and symbolizes the rescue of the Jewish people from Haman’s plot, the fight against anti-Semitism and the preservation of the identity of the Jewish people. Purim is a joyful and noisy holiday, full of laughter and masks. For whenever Haman is mentioned, Jews are supposed to drown out his name with as much noise, shouting and table pounding as possible.
