Mrs. Ben Levi- You’re a yekke with a chandelier?! Oh well, at least you keep that important Haman cookie minhag. Yeah, my yekkishe ancestors did it too, only with challah, and since there was nothing to hang it from, they gave Haman death by the sword.
(Then they asked the sha’aloh: “Do we need to kasher our challah knife?”
They were told that since they didn’t display derech eretz to a human being and killed him, they don’t need to worry about Torah laws either.
Then WWII broke out, and all those “human beings” around them showed themselves to be animals, so they realized that Haman probably fell into the same category. Since then, we’ve been kashering our knife after the shechita each year.)
