Farfel (Yiddish: פֿאַרפֿל, farfl; from Middle High German varveln) is small pellet or flake shaped pasta used in Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine. It is made from an egg noodle dough and is frequently toasted before being cooked. It can be served in soups or as a side dish. In the United States, it can also be found pre-packaged as egg barley.
During the Jewish holiday of Passover, when dietary laws pertaining to grains are observed, "matzah farfel" takes the place of the egg noodle version. Matzah farfel is simply matzah broken into small pieces.
The time has come to leave this place - Never to return
Nothing's left but ashes - My body now is spurned
Your sorrow will subside in time - My one, true, only friend
There is one thing we can do - To avert this bitter end
Up amongst the stars I dwell - Tranquillity is found
I look upon the earth - To which all human life is bound
Alone I wander aimlessly - For now my spirit's free
My soul exists within you as I guide your destiny
The tears of grief you weep for me - Through uncontrolled emotion
You have given me your all - A life time of devotion
So come my friend take my hand - Together we shall see
The pathways through the darkness - For all eternity
Eternity
