Gal Gadot enjoyed spending a little quality time with two of her three children as she stepped into the kitchen for an old-time tradition of making specialty pastries ahead of Purim.
The 36-year-old actress looked completely in her element while shaping dough into Hamantash (or often referred to as Hamantaschen) for the Jewish holiday, which begins on Wednesday and ends on Thursday.
The holiday is known as a joyous occasion celebrating the survival of the Jewish people as told through the Jewish bible’s Scroll of Esther, who was the wife of a Persian king and hid the fact that she was Jewish.

Hamantash are traditionally triangular shaped shortbread pastries filled with a jam, usually apricot or raspberry, but also often with poppy seed spreads, dates and figs.
