Jewish Meals

There is an old jest which says
that Kreplach are eaten when-
ever there is beating, on Purim
.when Haman is beaten, on the
eve of Yom Kippur when men
have themselves flogged, and on
Hoshano Rabboh, when willow
branches are beaten. Since no
one really knows the origin of
the custom of eating Kreplach
in soup on these holidays, the
jest is as suitable as any other
explanation. Kreplach made of
cheese are a part of a fourth
festival as well, for we eat them
at Shevuoth topped with sour
cream. It is believed that the
custom of eating Kreplach at
Purim originated first, and was
made a part of the other . ob-
servances later.
Kreplach are usually prepared
with the same dough as that
used for noodles, although some
cooks prefer one made softer
with the addition of water. This
softer dough is a little easier to
mix, but is slightly more sticky
when cooked. Since both types
of dough must be rolled paper-
thin and still be free of tears,
it is• a good idea to use a pastry
cloth rather than a board. There
is less tendency for the dough
to stick to the cloth.
Fillings of ground, cooked
meat, poultry, or combinations
of both are used in the Krep-
lach served in soup during the
holidays. Lungen, either alone
or combined with other meats
or poultry gives a light, fluffy
filling, and is also inexpensive.
A filling similar to that used in
Cheese Blintzes is substituted for
the meat during Shevuoth. For
year 'round eating, kasha is
well-liked, too. Fruit-filled Krep-
lach,. sometimes called Vareni-
kas, are served as a dessert.
The filled triangles of dough,
unlike noodles, are not left to
dry out, but are poached in water
as soon as they are ready. Since
they must not be 'crowded in
the kettle, a 10-quart saucepan,
if available, is an ideal utensil.
Otherwise two deep, large skil-
lets could be used, and the
kreplach cooked about seven at
a time in each. After they are
poached they are removed from
the water with a slotted spoon
and added to the soup. Some-
times they are drained on towels,
then lightly browned in a little
shortening to serve as a side
dish or light main course. If it

. Questions
By HARRY MAXMAN
Why is it, thinkingly,
we seldom sink our teeth
into anything but food?
Why do life-times go by
while we, like phantoms
sit together untogether?
Why is so much talk
averted from the heart?
We recognize mostly sound.
And what we say. leaves
a predictable vacuum
which we assuage with a joke.
The less we say meaningfully,
the less we're obliged to know;
a life of catatonic amnesia.
Is it a fear we fear?
Courage we lack or loss we fear?
Or love our high I.Q. lacks?
The Story of Esther

In Shushan lived Mordecai,
A Benjamite Jew.
His orphaned cousin Esther,
In his household grew.
He adopted and raised her
Like his very own.
Death having claimed her parents,
She was left alone.

The charm of Esther brought her
To the royal house.
Ahasuerus, king of Persia,
Made her his spouse.
The king bequeathed Haman
With powers strong and great
Who plotted on the Jews
Whose custom he did hate.
He pleaded with the king
Whom he had employed
To decree upon the Jews,
Their lives to be destroyed.
The king granted to Haman„
To have his way
And get rid of the Jews,
Old and young in one day.
When Mordecai heard this,
His garments he rent
And all his days were filled
With sorrow and lament.
Charging Esther, he told her
A request to make
For compassion for her people
And for her own sake.
So she went to the king,
In her peoples' behalf.
•
If Haman tortured them,
Then how could she be safe?
Said Esther to the king,
"If your love for me would show,
Cease suffering my people,
Have mercy, let them go."
The king who loved Esther,
Her request he fulfilled
By punishing Haman,
The Jews' suffering was stilled.
The gallows made for Mordecai,
The Jew from Shushan,
Were used instead for hanging
That wicked Haman.
Hence, the fourteenth of Adar,
Became a day of joy
In memory of Haman, who would
The Jews destroy.
