This Challah Bread Pudding from New York City based artist Patti Grabel is a delightful way to celebrate Purim. It’s inspired by her grandmother Norma, who always made homemade challah bread for Shabbat dinner.
The story of Purim is told in the Biblical book of Esther. It commemorates the Jewish people being saved from death at the hands of Haman, a royal advisor to the King of ancient Persia, by Mordecai and Esther, who had become the empire’s Queen. It is also known as the Feast of the Lots.
