One of the reasons that I love the poppy seed filling is for the symbolic nature of the cookies filled with seeds -- the fertility references in that. I do wonder if the "cakes for the queen of heaven" are where hamentashen or oznei haman came from. I also made some cherry filled ones -- but well -- cherry filled yoni -- enough said. I hear Purim is quite the party in Israel. I suppose I should have mentioned the fertility/yoni connection of Purim and and the hamentshen — thanks for pointing it out.

This is why Hadasa is called Ester - in rememebrence of Ishtar). Anyhow, I like to fill them with strawberries or apples - it's yummy and it reminds me of the original fertility meaning of the Purim.
