Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted on the social media network a photo of himself and his wife holding a tray of homemade hamantashen.
“Baking hamentashen. Chag sameach! — celebrating Purim with Priscilla Chan,” read the Friday night post.
In response to a comment about the special Purim pastry, Zuckerberg wrote: “Hamen (sic.) was the villain of Purim and he famously had a three-cornered hat. These symbolize the victory over him.”
In a Facebook post in December 2016, Zuckerberg said he was once an atheist but now believes that “religion is very important.” The post came after he wished his followers a “Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah” on December 25, 2016. Zuckerberg’s wife practices Buddhism.

In September 2017, Zuckerberg posted a photo on his social network of himself giving his baby daughter Max a kiddush cup that he said was a century-old family heirloom that had belonged to her great-great-grandfather, also named Max. In October 2017, he posted an after-Yom Kippur message on his social network, in which he asked forgiveness for the misuse of Facebook in the past year.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
