Why do Jews eat Kreplach (Jewish dumplings with meat hidden inside) before the fast on Yom Kippur? 🥟 It's not just delicious food! Kreplach symbolize mercy (meat) hidden inside judgment (dough). Yom Kippur is a day of judgment, and by eating this dish, we are symbolically asking God for His mercy to overcome any harsh decree, or Gevurah. It’s a powerful and meaningful way to prepare our bodies and souls for the holiest day of the year. G'mar Chatimah Tovah (May you be sealed for a good year)! �
