Jewish families are preparing to celebrate the annual holiday of Purim - including Ivanka Trump and her children, who baked traditional cookies together Friday evening.

The mother of three, 35, shared a cute snap of the cooking session in the evening. She can be seen in the family photo next to her daughter Arabella, 5, and Joseph, 3, making hamentashen.

The triangular cookies, which are typically filled with either poppy seed, raspberry or apricot preserves, are a staple during Purim, which falls on March 11 and 12 this year.

Purim, which is celebrated during huge parties in Jewish communities around the world, commemorates the salvation of the Jewish people in Persia in the 4th century BC as told in the Hebrew Bible, after a royal adviser named Haman planned to order their extermination.

Ivanka posted the photo of herself with her children Friday evening, writing in the caption: 'After-school fun making hamentashen for Purim with Arabella and Joseph.'

The picture is geolocated in Washington, DC, where she and husband Jared Kushner moved as Jared became a senior adviser to his father-in-law at the White House.

After the mogul's inauguration, the pair moved from Manhattan to the capital, where they occupy a $5.5million house in the Kalorama neighborhood, not far from the Obamas' new home.

Ivanka, who was raised Presbyterian and converted to Judaism prior to her wedding in 2009, has shared photos of her family celebrating Purim and observing other Jewish traditions in recent years.

Her youngest child, soon-to-be one-year-old Theodore, didn't seem to take part in Friday evening's baking session as he didn't appear on the snap.

Hamentashen, which are believed to get their name from Purim villain Haman, are one of the foods traditionally served during the holiday feast, which typically also includes challah bread, meat and wine.

Adults and children are encouraged to dress up in costumes during Purim, one of the liveliest celebrations in the Jewish calendar. Giving money to the needy and sending out food gifts are also part of the observances.

The day before Ivanka shared her family snap, her brother Eric posted a photo of the two of them in Washington, DC, saying he missed his sister since she moved out of New York City.
