Purim is upon the Washington DC home of first daughter Ivanka Trump, who baked hamentashen with her children on Friday. Ivanka posted a photo on Instagram of the pastry-making featuring herself, her daughter Arabella (5), and her son Joseph (3), crafting the jam-filled goodies, which are traditionally served during the Purim celebration of the aversion of a massive slaughter of the historic Persian Jewish population. After-school fun making hamentashen for Purim with Arabella and Joseph A post shared by Ivanka Trump (@ivankatrump) on Mar 10, 2017 at 2:52pm PST Ivanka called the activity 'after-school fun.' Trump converted to Orthodox Judaism before marrying husband Jared Kushner in 2009. Ivanka and Jared even hosted a Shabbat meal for the president's cabinet in January in their home in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, DC. Her social media presence has brought a touch of family to the new administration's image.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to teach her about the judicial system in our country firsthand. #SCOTUS #SupremeCourt #ImportantLessons #MotherDaughter A post shared by Ivanka Trump (@ivankatrump) on Feb 22, 2017 at 8:48am PST
