Hamantaschen Herald --- Sound the trumpets ! Pur Hamantaschen Herald --- Sound the trumpets ! Purim  2021 begin s Thursday, February 25 th .   ERICA'S RUGELACH & BAKING, CO salutes  brave Queen Esther, who thwarted evil Prime Minister Haman, in his evil machinations against the Jewish people of antiquity. At Purim, we  are blessed with a sublime pastry in the shape of a triangle --- Hamantaschen. We symbolically eat Haman's three cornered hat when we savor this exceptiona l cookie.  Even though Esther feared for her life, she stood up against Haman and told King Ahasuerus about Haman's plans to kill all the Jews in the Persian empire in a single day. Haman was hanged, and Esther's slippery  cousin, Mordechai, reformed his ways and  became a good prime minister, bringing about a new era of Jewish rights in Persia. (Interestingly,   Esther's  name is derivative of  the Persian word setareh, which  means   star , and is conveniently similar to the medium word astra, which  means  myrtl e ---  a plant with small flowers like  stars   in  the night sky .  Alternatively ,   Esther could be a derivative of the name of the Near Eastern goddess ISHTAR . Esther's given Hebrew name was Hadassah.) The spirit of Purim means having the courage to stand up to what is wrong and do what is right. Get up, Stand up, Don't give up the fight! In the pure spirit of Purim, check out this image of the 1909 strike for workers' rights made up of 20,000 Yiddish immigrants, mostly women in their teens and twenties! Keep up your strength and eat Erica's Rugelach and scrumptious apricot, prune, and raspberry Hamantaschen for Purim! 🔺 🔺 🔺 🔺 🔺 #ericasrugelach #purim #purim2020 #purimideas #purim🎭 #queen #queenesther #jewish #yiddish #workersrights #uprisingof20000 #jewishrights #haman #hamantaschen #history
As Women's "Her Story" Month continues, let's exca As Women's "Her Story" Month continues, let's excavate the achievements of Mary Anning from Dorset, England (1799 - 1847). A passionate fossil collector, dealer, entrepreneur and paleontologist, Mary Anning was the first woman to discover Jurassic period dinosaurs embedded in the cliffs of the Dorset coast. Among Mary's finds were the first ichthyosaur skeleton correctly identified, the first two complete plesiosaur skeletons found, and the first British discovery of a pterodactyl. Her findings confirmed the theory of pre-historic, reptilian extinction and paved the way for modern paleontology. She took great risks with her safety while excavating at the marine fossil beds in the high cliffs at Lyme Regis, and, at one point, nearly lost her life in a landslide that killed her black and white terrier, Tray. Because she was an uneducated woman, from a poor family who were non-Anglican protestants dissenters, her discoveries were usurped by male scientists many times without crediting her namesake. However, on a 1834 trip to Lyme Regis the Swiss-American scientist, Louis Agassiz, was assisted by Mary Anning and her companion, Elizabeth Philpot, and, as a token of gratitude, named two species of fossil fish after Mary and her friend --- Acrodus anningiae and Belenostomus anningiae So let's honor Mary Anning today with delectable treats from Erica's Rugelach, and think of the importance of documenting and discovering the secrets of the Earth through geology and paleontology. Did you know that the tongue twister, "She sells seashells on the seashore..." composed in 1908 by Terry Sullivan, was inspired by the life of Mary Anning? . . . . . #ericasrugelach #womensupportingwomen #womensherstorymonth #womenshistorymonth #womenshistory #womenentrepreneurs #womenscientists #paleontology #jurrasiccoast #maryanning #excavator #excavation #ammonite #katewinslet #merylstreep #saoriseronan #ammonitefilm
Today "lettuce" all revel in the Vernal Equinox -- Today "lettuce" all revel in the Vernal Equinox --- Thursday, March 19th! Erica's Rugelach & Baking, Co continues the celebration of Women's "Her Story" Month by saluting Rachel Carson, marine biologist, conservationist, activist and author of the 1962 classic "Silent Spring." Her work heralded the dangers of DDT and toxic insecticides which resulted in the carcinogenic chemical being permanently banned. The title "Silent Spring" came about as a warning that, if action was not taken, there would one day be no more birds chirping because their eggshells would thin & degrade due to DDT. She also wrote "The Sea Around Us" in 1951 an unprecedented work that celebrates the bounty and beauty of the world's oceans. Like Sylvia Earle in her childhood backyard of Dunedin, Florida, Carson was also fascinated by the tide pools she closely observed in her beloved Salt Pond Preserve in Bristol, Maine. In these tiny ecosystems they observed the profound interconnected nature of all things. As you enjoy delicious treats from Erica's Rugelach & Baking, Co, let's take a moment to contemplate all of the fruit, nut, sugar, wheat & dairy farmers who work so hard to bring us the ingredients to create wonderful sweets. Let's also think about the unsustainable cost of the global shipping industry which adds fossil fuel to products and mortally injures all species of whales; harmful large scale commercial, bottom trawling fishing practices and exploiting our oceans as a giant dumping ground for plastic, human & industrial waste. We are only as healthy as our oceans! . . . . . . #vernalequinox #rachelcarson #silentspring #environment #environmentalist #environmentalism #ericasrugelach #nature #naturephotography #naturelovers #activist #conservation #theseaaroundus
Erica's Rugelach celebrates Women's History Month Erica's Rugelach celebrates Women's History Month by honoring Sylvia Earle, marine biologist, explorer and dedicated environmentalist. Known as "Her Deepness" and "The Sturgeon General", Sylvia has sounded the lighthouse bells on the dangers of overfishing, pollution, and the need to conserve the ocean's wildlife. Sylvia was the first woman scientist-in-chief of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the USA and was awarded a "Hero of the Planet" title by Time Magazine. Since 1998, she has been an explorer- in- residence at National Geographic. Thanks to her tireless collecting on thousands of dives around the world, Sylvia has cataloged more than 20,000 species of algae and seaweed that are preserved in the Smithsonian. Recently she was the subject of a ground breaking documentary film, "Mission Blue." This month, as you eat Erica's mouth-watering rugelach, think of the bounty of the earth & sea and the urgent call to create sustainable practices.

Today, we honor Jane Jacobs, the American activist Today, we honor Jane Jacobs, the American activist, journalist, and author, who led the epic protest against the proposed "Lower Manhattan Expressway" --- a highway that would have directly cut through Greenwich Village, SoHo, and Little Italy. During the 1960's she successfully took on developer, Robert Moses, and his plans to level Washington Square Park, and thus succeeded in preserving one of the jewels in the crown of New York City. Jane Jacobs championed the importance of preserving urban neighborhoods, communities, and cultures through the retention of original architectural structures. At Purim this year, which begins on Monday, March 9th, let's celebrate two formidable figures --- Jane Jacobs and Queen Esther --- a woman who also stood up for her people and her beliefs against overwhelming odds. This Purim, as you eat Erica's Rugelach and scrumptious apricot, prune, and raspberry Hamantaschen - think of Jane Jacobs and how the spirit of Purim lives on in the communities that she fought for. . . . . . . #ericasrugelach #purim #purim2020 #purim🎭 #hamantaschen #hamantashen #rugelach #jewish #yiddish #yiddishfood #jewishfood #socialactivism #throwbackthursday #janejacobs #foodstagram #food #foodphotography #newyorkhistory #history

From the BBC World News desk: Antiquity is turned From the BBC World News desk: Antiquity is turned on its head with an astonishing literary discovery made in the UK just weeks before St. Valentine's Day, Friday, February 14th. Unearthed was a near perfect copy of the Medieval, comedic play "Rugelach & Juliet" estimated circa 1456, by Menachem Shakespeare who was an unknown, distant relative of the Renaissance playwright, William Shakespeare. Professor Herbert Winter from Cambridge-on- Hudson, delivered the preliminary, ground breaking supposition that the work actually pre-dates the beloved tragedy by more than 150 years. BBC reporters across the pond in America have seen an uptick in all things British. Erica's Rugelach & Baking, Co, the award winning, all five-star yelp! reviewed, Brooklyn- based artisan bakery, got wind of the discovery and is now aggressively marketing for the upcoming St. Valentine's Day holiday on Friday, February 14th excerpting the phrase from the leaked manuscript, "What lox thru yonder bagel breaks?" ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #valentines #valentine #valentines_day #rugelach #ericasrugelach #pastry #baking #bakery #pastries #giftideas #heart #romeoandjuliet #romeoandjulietedit #rugelachandjuliet #parody #jewish #jewishfood #jewishfoodporn #yiddish #yiddishkitchen #foodporn #food #foodphotography #shakespeare #jewishmemes #spoof

Did you know that though Washington Roebling was t Did you know that though Washington Roebling was the chief engineer of the Brooklyn Bridge, it was his wife Emily Warren Roebling who completed its construction? When Washington became bedridden, Emily developed an extensive knowledge of the engineering that went into the bridge. In her husband's absence, she took it upon herself to see the project finished. When the bridge was completed in 1883, Emily was the first person to cross the Brooklyn Bridge. Erica's Rugelach thanks Emily Warren Roebling for her achievements that paved the way for women after her, like Erica's award winning artisanal rugelach, baked by the best babes in Brooklyn. 🌉🌉🌉 . . . . . . #ericasrugelach #rugelach #bakery #pastries #jewish #jewishfood #food #foodporn #foodphotography #foodstagram #throwbackthursday #brooklyn #brooklynbridge #emilyroebling #womenempowerment #womeninbusiness #girlpower
