Incidentally, if you spy that painting to the left of the Alef-Beis? That was always my favorite painting. It is meant to depict the story of the Alef-Beis when they come before God and ask to be the first letter to start off the Torah. I loved that the letters shone; to me, the letters are always made of fire so this was the perfect depiction.
In any case, because we are Chassidim we have the minhag to eat kreplach and to be given lekach by our parents today. That's always fantastic because my parents have highly imaginative blessings for me.
Yom Kippur is the most joyous day of the whole year because all our sins are forgiven! I'm excited.

Lovely!
not only chassidim have a minhag of kreplach (btw the 3 times a year we eat them is yom Kippur, hoshana Raba, and Purim- Kippur, Rabba, Purim, spell out KReP)
chassidim? what kind? from which side?
looks delicious. hope it was.
Swing by and check out my new site!
I simply want to mention that I love the colors and the art in your dining room.
Thanks for the vocabulary lesson--I'd heard the word "lekach," but didn't know what it meant. And thanks for the link to the explanation of the minhagim/customs, as well.
