Farfel

Farfel are little dumplings made of grated noodle dough. In Yiddish, Farfallen means “fallen away”, which describes the dough as it is grated. Farfel are eaten on Rosh Hashanah by a Shkenazim, while at Pesach they are made with matzo meal instead of flour. The many tiny dumplings represent fertility, while their round shape symbolizes a well rounded year and the wholeness of life.
