Kreplach
Description
The history of Kreplach goes back to ancient times. Their triangular shape symbolizes the three patriarchs: Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham. During the holiday of Purim in Israel, Kreplach are made with dried fruits. For Shavuot, they are filled with cheese or cottage cheese. On other holidays, they are prepared with boiled meat. Kreplach are served with sour cream or any other sauce.
