We kreplach whenever we shlog/hit. Erev Yom Kipur we shlog kaporos and malkos. Hoshana Rabba we klap hoshanos. Purim we klap Homon. We do it because hiting is a form of gvuros and we want to sweeten them with chesed. Kreplach are made from meat covered in dough. As known meat stands for gvuros and dough stands for chesed. We try to something that covers the gvuros with chesed. Chasima & gmar chasima tova.

Did the Rebbe say two “witnesses” or two “Lubavitchers”?
If one of the “witnesses” is the owner does that count?
