does anyone know - can the filling be white like chicken or potatoes, or does it have to be dark - ground beef - for a chessed against gevurah kind of thing?

I heard the original minhag is that it started because in Europe people didn't have meat during the week, and only for Shabbos/Y"T. Three times a year, where it was a quasi-Y"T (Erev Y"K, HR, and Purim), they had the meat, but sort of hidden in the noodle.
There is no set "rule" I guess, and I don't know if it was chicken vs. meat, but I would assume if one is following the minhag, the kreplach shouldn't have potato...

queenyemk, you eat kreplach on the days when you "klap" - Erev YK - klap al cheit, Hoshana Rabba - klap the aravos and Purim - klap against haman (gragger).

you should have a seudah - wash, fleishig - the whole works! Smile

we are going out for S.A and S.T, so I wasn't preparing anything.
I'll do soup and some salads - very easy.
oh did I mention I'm also working FRI!!

Well, I'm not sure now if this is correct, but we always use chicken for erev Y"K and Hoshana Raba, and meat for Purim.

You can serve challah and soup with kreplach, that's plenty.

Make the time! It's an inyan to have a seudah, so make a brunch or what not...you can make it simple and even use the soup for Y"T...

You ate on erev yon kippur, right? busy as you were?

as I said, challah and the soup with kreplach. it doesn't take long. you have to sit here and there and take a break from the kitchen work anyway.

Yes, but there were no meals to prpare for on Yom Kippur. It's not the time to eat, its getting dh and kids and me to eat together.

bh I am not so busy today, have a lot of stuff cooked already (leftover from our sukka party) and not too many guests. Plus there are big kiddushim in shul on simchas Torah. Maybe this year we will do it!

I find EYK BUSIER than an actual yomtov as the meals are eaten on IT, rather than over the next day or 2.

the inyan is to have meat, it does not specify which kind of meat, but the meat represents the gevura. only recently have pple made do people call chicken meat, in halacha nd in seforim they use differant terms for each. here meat was specfied.I have eaten by others who made it wiht chicken though.
